Abstract

Abstract With increasing ecological and environmental concerns, the development of materials and products from renewable and sustainable resources is of great public value. Due to the renewability, abundance, and biodegradability, etc., nanocellulose have proven to be one of the most attractive and promising sustainable alternatives of modern and future times. Many exciting applications of nanocellulose have been explored, especially in the fabrication of polymer nanocomposites. As a particular class of polymer, here, we present a comprehensive overview of the current development of nanocellulose in rubber nanocomposites. In particular, this review assembles the use of nanocellulose as reinforcing phase in improving the mechanical and other properties of rubbers, as well as the efforts to improve the dispersion of nanocellulose in the matrix and enhance the interfacial interactions between them. The unique features of nanocellulose used in functional/stimuli-responsive rubbers, such as sensors, self-healing materials, and shape memory materials, as well as its utilization as bio-template agents by taking full advantage of its active surface and high aspect ratio are also discussed in this review. Finally, we evaluate the challenges encountered in current research and highlight future opportunities for the high-performance and tunable performances of nanocomposites composed of elastomers and nanocellulose.

期刊介绍： Polymer Reviews is a reputable publication that focuses on timely issues within the field of macromolecular science and engineering. The journal features high-quality reviews that have been specifically curated by experts in the field. Topics of particular importance include biomedical applications, organic electronics and photonics, nanostructures, micro- and nano-fabrication, biological molecules (such as DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates), polymers for renewable energy and environmental applications, and interdisciplinary intersections involving polymers. The articles in Polymer Reviews fall into two main categories. Some articles offer comprehensive and expansive overviews of a particular subject, while others zero in on the author's own research and situate it within the broader scientific landscape. In both types of articles, the aim is to provide readers with valuable insights and advancements in the field of macromolecular science and engineering.
