Abstrakt: Nanocellulose has potential applications across the several industrial sectors and addresses a lot of issues related to environmental concern. As biodegradable filler in composite manufacturing, coating, and self-standing thin films, it offers novel and promising properties. Very few available reviews report on nanocellulose-impregnated composite materials for food packaging. Nanocellulose reinforcement is found to be promising for mechanical and barrier properties of composite for biopolymer and synthetic polymer. In this paper, we provide a thorough review of recent advances of nanocellulose synthesis and its application as a filler material for production of nanocomposites to be used for food packaging.
