Abstract

Cellulose has gained significant attention as a sustainable resource due to its abundance, renewability, and biodegradability, making it a promising alternative to nonbiodegradable materials. Various cellulose-based materials (CBMs) have been engineered to improve the properties of natural cellulose. However, achieving full sustainability of CBMs remains challenging, primarily on account of the intensive pretreatment and fabrication processes involved. Therefore, this review highlights recent advances in balancing functionality and sustainability in CBMs. The first section examines the key parameters and mechanisms that influence the mechanical, thermal, barrier, and optical properties of CBMs, alongside their promising applications. Additionally, this review offers a comprehensive discussion on the sustainability of CBMs, focusing on (nano)cellulose extraction from renewable sources using green solvents, eco-friendly and scalable fabrication processes, and sustainable end-of-life strategies such as biodegradation and recycling. Overall, this review offers guidelines for designing functional and green CBMs, contributing to the broader goal of a circular, zero-waste society.

可持续性满足功能：纤维素基材料的绿色设计方法

纤维素作为一种可持续发展的资源，由于其丰富、可再生和可生物降解性，使其成为不可生物降解材料的一个有前途的替代品，受到了极大的关注。各种纤维素基材料（CBMs）已被设计用于改善天然纤维素的性能。然而，实现CBMs的完全可持续性仍然具有挑战性，主要是因为涉及到密集的预处理和制造过程。因此，本综述强调了在平衡CBMs的功能和可持续性方面的最新进展。第一部分探讨了影响CBMs的机械、热、势垒和光学特性的关键参数和机制，以及它们的应用前景。此外，本文还对CBMs的可持续性进行了全面的讨论，重点是使用绿色溶剂从可再生资源中提取（纳米）纤维素，环保和可扩展的制造工艺，以及可持续的生命周期终止策略，如生物降解和回收。总的来说，这篇综述为设计功能性和绿色的CBMs提供了指导方针，有助于实现循环、零浪费社会的更广泛目标。
