Abstract Cellulose nanofi brils (CNF), also known as nanofi brillar cellulose (NFC), are an advanced biomaterial made
mainly from renewable forest and agricultural resources that have demonstrated exceptional performance in
composites. In addition, they have been utilized in barrier coatings, food, transparent fl exible fi lms and other
applications. Research on CNF has advanced rapidly over the last decade and several of the fundamental
questions about production and characterization of CNF have been addressed. An interesting shift in focus in
the recent reported literature indicates increased efforts aimed at taking advantage of the unique properties
