Nanocellulose for Sensing Applications

Abstract Nanocellulose market is estimated to be worth $660 million by 2023. Rapid advances in nanotechnology and material sciences have facilitated investigation of nanocellulose, giving rise to their emergence as desirable biomaterials. There has been substantial research undertaken on the applications of nanocellulose in various fields such as renewable energy, electronics, environment, food agriculture, biomedical, and healthcare. More recent attention has focused on the applications of nanocellulose in sensor domain. Here, the recent developments of nanocellulose with more focus on cellulose nanocrystals in sensing applications are highlighted and discussed in detail.
