1 2 3 1 IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE IN THE FIELD OF 4 5 6 2 NANOCELLULOSE AND RECENT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS OF WOOD 7 8 3 BASED NANOCELLULOSE: A REVIEW 9 10 11 4 Rajinipriya Malladi, Malladi Nagalakshmaiah*, Mathieu Robert and Saïd Elkoun* 12 13 5 Center for Innovation in Technological Ecodesign (CITE), University of Sherbrooke, Quebec, 14 6 Canada. 15 16 7 Abstract: 17 18 19 8 The nano sized cellulose materials is topical in the sphere of sustainable materials lately. The two 20 21 9 key groups of nanocellulose (NC) are 1) Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and 2) Cellulose 22 23 24 10 nanocrystals (CNC). They are often considered as a secondgeneration renewable resource, 25 26 11 which also serves as a better replacement for the petroleumbased products. The major attention 27 28 12 on these materials are increasing because of their low density, high mechanical, renewable and 29 30 31 13 biodegradable properties. There are many literatures on the isolation of NFC and CNC from 32 33 14 different sources like hard/soft wood and agriculture biomass. However, this is a comprehensive 34 35 15 review dedicated to the extraction and properties of NFC and CNC only from the agriculture and 36 37 16 industrial waste using mechanical, chemical and enzymatic methods. This article explores in 38 39 40 17 detail about the importance of agriculture waste and the pretreatments, methods involved in the 41 42 18 production of nanocellulose, the properties of NC prepared from crop and industrial wastes. The 43 44 19 potential applications of nanocellulose from different sources are discussed. The current 45 46 47 20 extensive industrial activities in the production of nanocellulose had been presented. This review 48 49 21 will likely draw attention of researchers towards crop and industrial wastes as a new source in 50 51 22 the realm of nanocellulose. 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 2 of 70

1 2 3 23 Keywords: Nanocellulose (NC), Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), 4 5 6 24 Agriculture biomass and Industrial developments. 7 8 9 25 INTRODUCTION: 10 11 12 26 The production of cellulosic material increases tremendously to fulfil the need for renewable and 13 14 27 ecofriendly sustainable materials.1 Cellulose is often considered as one of the most important 15 16 17 28 natural resource. With the advent of nanoscience, the researchers and industries focus in the 18 19 29 production of NC in huge quantities and it is evident from increasing number of publications and 20 21 30 patents in this field.2The trailing purpose behind the growth of research in NC lies in their 22 23 3 24 31 promising properties such as low density and high mechanical strength. Cellulose can be found 25 26 32 in different sources like wood, natural fibers (agriculture biomass), marine animal (tunicate), 27 28 33 algae and fungi.4 The composition of cellulose is highly dependent on the source.5 This review 29 30 31 34 deals with the crop waste as a core source for the extraction of NC. 32 33 35 34 With the everincreasing demand for renewable resource, the crop waste is meant to be an 35 36 36 appropriate material. The recovery of waste makes it possible to protect the environment and to 37 38 37 benefit from low cost reinforcements. Agriculture waste biomass is significant resource for the 39 40 38 reason it is environmental friendly, low cost, readily available, renewable and exhibit somehow 41 42 6 7 43 39 acceptable mechanical properties. The crop waste constitutes abundant natural fibers. The 44 45 40 agriculture waste fibers can be obtained from cotton stalk, pineapple leaf, rice straw, flax, hemp, 46 47 41 soy pods, rice husk, garlic straw, potato peel, grape skin etc. Agri biomass can be used in 48 49 50 42 multitude applications like , textile industry, composites, building, furniture and medical 51 52 43 fields. 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 3 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 44 The NC market is currently emphasized because of the augmented focus of the governments, 4 5 6 45 industries, funding agencies and Universities. The biobased economy is rapidly increasing 7 8 46 resulting in the higher investments. The NC production includes high value added applications 9 10 47 like composites, paper industry, packaging, paints, oil &gas, personal care, medical care etc.8 11 12 48 The NC is first commercialised by celluforce Inc. in Quebec; a jointventure between FP 13 14 9 15 49 innovations and Domtar. The NC industries are prominent in the areas of Asia Pacific, North 16 17 50 America, Europe, Latin America and Middle East and Africa including leading names like 18 19 51 Paperlogic, University of Maine, Norway, American Process, Nippon Paper Japan, 20 21 22 52 Innventia Sweden, CTP/FCBA France, Oji Paper, Japan. 23 24 25 53 This article aims to deliver the consolidate details on structure and multiple sources of cellulose, 26 27 54 NC, their extraction from agribased sources and the current industrial developments on NC 28 29 55 production and applications. There are numerous literature which deal with various aspects of 30 31 10,11 12–14 32 56 NC like source, production of nanofibrillated cellulose, production of nanocrystals, 33 11 15 16 17 34 57 extraction methods, pretreatments, properties and applications. However, there is only 35 36 58 limited review on the agriculture biomass for the extraction of NC.6,18 Since the urge of 37 38 59 converting agriculture waste into wealth is increasing for the reasons of waste management, 39 40 41 60 improve ecofriendly resource and creating new source of economy, this review paper 42 43 61 concentrates on the inside story of the agriculture biomass, extraction of NC from crop waste, 44 45 62 different treatments, pretreatments involved. It also deals with the properties of isolated NC. To 46 47 48 63 conclude, the applications and industrial evolution in the production of NC are also addressed. 49 50 51 64 SOURCE OF CELLULOSE: 52 53 54 65 Cellulose is the amplest resource of natural fibers. Annually, the extraction of cellulose is 55 10 12 56 66 assessed to be over 7.5 x 10 tons. Cellulose is extracted from various sources including wood 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 4 of 70

1 2 3 67 (Hard or soft wood), seed (cotton), bast (Flax, hemp), cane (bamboo, ), leaf (Sisal), straw 4 5 19 6 68 (rice, wheat), fruit (Coir), tunicate, algae, fungi, bacteria and minerals. Figure 1 shows the 7 8 69 hierarchical representation of the chief sources from which cellulose can be extracted. 9 10 11 70 12 13 14 71 15 16 72 17 18 19 73 20 21 74 22 23 24 75 25 26 27 76 28 29 77 30 31 32 78 Figure 1. Hierarchical representation various sources of cellulose. 33 34 35 79 The source is placed in the order of conventional source like wood and cotton, which is 36 37 80 considered as the primary origin. Wood can be classified as soft/hard wood based on their 38 39 81 structural aspect.20 Then comes the agriculture waste which are the unprocessed wastes that are 40 41 42 82 coming directly from the field residues like rice straw, banana rachis, corncob etc. The crop 43 44 83 waste is becoming the second highest source of cellulose. The industrial waste is the processed 45 46 84 waste produced by the industries like sugarcane bagasse, tomato and garlic peels etc. which is 47 48 49 85 another source of cellulose emerging lately. Cellulose can be obtained from some other small 50 51 86 class of sources like marine animal (tunicate), algae, fungi and bacteria. The interest of this 52 53 87 review lies on the second and third grid of the pyramid representation i.e. Crop and industrial 54 55 56 88 waste for the fact that this source needs to be explored more.

The 34 35 29 36 96 diameter of the fibrils varies from 335 nm depending on the source. Cellulose contains linear 37 38 97 polymer chain comprised of glucose monomer named β1,4linked anhydroDglucose units as 39 40 98 shown in figure 2. The degree of polymerization of cellulose is up to 20000 units. For wood and 41 42 30 43 99 cotton it is approximately 10000 and 15000 glucose units respectively. 44 45 100 Anhydroglucose is the monomer and cellobiase is the dimer of cellulose. Each glucopyranose 46 47 101 unit contains 3 highly reactive hydroxyl groups which are responsible for the hydrophilicity, 48 49 50 102 chirality, biodegradability etc. of cellulose. The individual cellulose chain contains reducing end 51 52 103 because of the hemiacetal unit with both aliphatic and carbonyl group and the nonreducing end 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 7 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 104 with closed end group.31 The higher mechanical properties of each microfibrils result from the 4 5 6 105 strong hydrogen bonds. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Figure 2. a) 3D structure of cellulose.b) structure formula of cellulose.

28 29 30 106 The β1,4glycosidic bonds builds an ordered crystalline structure by Vander Waals forces and 31 32 107 inter & intra molecular hydrogen bonding.32 In these regions, the cellulose chains are strongly 33 34 108 arranged into crystallites. The hydrogen bond existing between cellulose chains make it highly 35 36 37 109 stable but poorly soluble in water and other solvents. These hydrogen bonding network and the 38 39 110 molecular arrangement results in polymorphs or allomorphs of cellulose. There are six 40 41 111 interconvertible polymorphs of cellulose had been identified id Est cellulose I, II,IIII,IIIII,IVI and 42 43 33 44 112 IV II. In 1984 Atalla and Vander Hart proved that the native cellulose I can be subdivided into 45 34 35 36 46 113 Iα and Iβ. Cellulose II can be obtained from the chemical regeneration or by mercerization. 47 48 114 Cellulose III is formed when cellulose I or II is treated with ammonia or various amines37 and the 49 50 115 polymorphs IV and IV are produced by heating cellulose III or III respectively at 260ºC in 51 I II I II 52 38 53 116 glycerol. 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 8 of 70

1 2 3 117 The amorphous region results from the breakage and disordered hydrogen bonds.39 Figure 3 4 5 6 118 shows the crystalline and amorphous regions of cellulose. The hydrogen bonding and orientation 7 8 119 of cellulose differs extensively for the different source. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Figure 3. Crystalline and amorphous regions of cellulose. 25 26 27 120 28 29 30 121 HEMICELLULOSE: 31 32 33 122 Plant cell wall is mainly made up of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin as stated before. 34 35 123 Hemicellulose is the second major component accounting 1530% of the cell wall.40 They are 36 37 124 entrenched around the microfibrils bundles as shown in figure 4. 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 Figure 4. Cellulose bundles embedded by hemicelluloses and lignin. 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 9 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 125 Hemicellulose can be divided into four different classes based on their structure as 1) Xylans, 2) 4 5 6 126 Mannans, 3) βglucans and 4) Xyloglucans. Hemicelluloses are branched polysaccharides 7 8 127 containing β1→4linked backbones of glucose, or xylose in equatorial configuration at 9 10 128 C1 and C4 and the structure varies with the side chain type and the distribution of these 11 12 129 backbones. 41 The figure 5 shows the structure of some backbones of hemicellulose like β 1,4 13 14 42 15 130 glucan (figure 5a) β 1,4xylan (figure 5b) and β 1,4Mannan (figure 5b). 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 Figure 5. Structural backbone of hemicellulose a) β 1,4glucan b) β 1,4xylan 34 35 42 36 c) β 1,4Mannan. Adopted from 37 38 131 39 40 41 132 Few examples of xylans are glucoronoxylans and arabinoxylans and they can be found in straw, 42 43 133 stalks, husk etc. Mannans can be classified as gluco and galactomannans which can be extracted 44 45 134 form gaur, locust bean etc. Xyloglucans are used as thickening and gelling agent in foods and 46 47 43 48 135 can be isolated from tamarind seeds. As reported in the literature, it is known that 49 50 136 hemicelluloses play a key role in facilitating the fibrillation process.44,45 The reason is most 51 52 137 likely because of the hydrogen bonding and negative charges on hemicelluloses. As realised 53 54 55 138 from figure 4, hemicellulose surrounds cellulose microfibrils through numerous hydrogen 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 10 of 70

1 2 3 139 bonding which in turn seals the gap between the microfibrils and hinders the fibrils from 4 5 6 140 aggregation. Also, hemicelluloses contain glucuronic acid with carboxyl groups which enables 7 45 8 141 the delamination of fibers by means of electrostatic repulsion forces. 9 10 11 142 LIGNIN: 12 13 14 143 Lignin is a heterogeneous and irregular crosslinked polymer of phenyl propane. It is amorphous 15 16 144 and optically inactive material with three different monomers namely Coumaryl alcohol, 17 18 145 Coniferyl alcohol and Sinapyl alcohol whose structure is shown in figure 6.46 Lignin is derived 19 20 21 146 by the enzyme mediated polymerization. The molecular weight of isolated lignin is typically in 22 23 147 the range of 100020,000 g/mol, though the degree of polymerisation in nature is difficult to 24 25 148 arrive on the account that lignin is highly fragmented during isolation and it also contains many 26 27 47 28 149 repeating substructures in a seemingly haphazard manner. 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 Figure 6.

1 2 3 155 4 5 6 156 Nanocellulose: 7 8 9 157 The plant cell wall can be classified into two namely primary and secondary. The primary cell 10 11 158 12 wall is the external thin layer (less than 1 µm) and the secondary cell wall chiefly contains 13 49 14 159 cellulose microfibrils. The Hierarchical configuration of wood to cellulose nanocrystals are 15 16 160 shown in figure 7. Generally, either length or diameter of the cellulose particles are in the nano 17 18 161 size (1100nm) are called as NC. The plant cell wall consisting bundles of the cellulose fibrils 19 20 21 162 and their diameter is in few microns. Each cellulose bundle is consisting millions of micro 22 23 163 fibrils, these micro fibrils are composed with elementary fibrils or nano fibrils. The diameter of 24 25 164 the nanofibrils is about 5nm, whereas in the case of the micro fibrils the diameter will vary from 26 27 28 165 1050nm. Every nano fibers are composed of flexible amorphous and strong crystalline parts. 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 Figure 7. Hierarchical structure of cellulose and its derivatives in nanoscale. 43 44 166 45 46 167 Several cellulosic derivatives are isolated from these microfibrils and depending on their 47 48 1 49 168 isolation methods, source, dimensions they are called , NC, whiskers, nanofibrils. Depending on 50 51 169 their method of preparation, NC is classified into 1) cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and 2) nano 52 53 170 fibrillated cellulose (NFC). The other type of NC called bacterial cellulose (BC) and electro spun 54 55 56 171 cellulose nanofibers (ECNF) can also be isolated. Nevertheless, CNC and NFC are considered as 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 12 of 70

1 2 3 172 the more common and they are produced by topdown process i.e. by disintegration of cellulose 4 5 6 173 fibers to nanoscale particles whereas BC and ECNF are produced by bottomup process in which 7 8 174 nanofibers are formed from low molecular weight sugars by bacteria or from dissolved cellulose 9 10 175 by electrospinning respectively.11 The morphological images of four different NC from corn 11 12 176 husk (figure 8a), tunicate (figure 8b), bacterial cellulose (figure 8c) and electro spun cellulose 13 14 50–53 15 177 nanofibers (figure 8d) is shown in figure 8. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Figure 8.

1 2 3 179 NANOFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE: 4 5 6 180 The cellulose fibers are fibrillated usually by mechanical breakdown to achieve clusters of 7 8 181 9 cellulose microfibrils due to shear forces called nanofibrillated cellulose. The nomenclature can 10 11 182 be different for these nanofibrils as a) nano fibrillated cellulose (NFC) b) micro fibrillated 12 13 183 cellulose (MFC) c) cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) d) cellulose filaments (CF). The diameter of NFC 14 15 184 is in nanoscale i.e. less than 100 nm and the length can be of few micrometers. The structural 16 17 18 185 morphology of NFC from corn husk is shown in figure 8a. 19 20 21 186 The NFC was first obtained by Turbak et al., 1983 and Herrick et al., 1983 by means of a Gaulin 22 23 187 laboratory homogenizer.54, 55The specific surface area and the number of hydrogen bonds 24 25 188 ensuing from the surface hydroxyl groups is increased during fibrillation or delamination. Owing 26 27 28 189 to this, NFCs are inclined to form gels showing increased viscosity. The major impairment of 29 30 190 NFCs are they tend to form gels once produced, their hydrophilicity restricts the dispersion with 31 32 191 few hydrophobic polymers. Importantly, the extraction process consumes highenergy. All these 33 34 192 difficulties can be overcome with some pretreatments and surface modifications. Besides the 35 36 37 193 drawbacks, NFCs are commercially produced and used in plenitude applications including 38 39 194 composites, coatings, personal care, constructions etc.8 40 41 42 195 CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS: 43 44 45 196 Cellulose nanocrystals, also termed nano whiskers, are spherical “rod” or “needle” like highly 46 47 197 crystalline structures with diameter of 225 nm and length from 100750 nm depending on the 48 49 50 198 source. The morphology of CNC from tunicate is shown in figure 8b. CNCs are first obtained by 51 56 52 199 acid hydrolysis by Ranby in 1949. As discussed in the structure of cellulose, it contains both 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 14 of 70

1 2 3 200 crystalline and amorphous regions. During the acid hydrolysis, the amorphous region is removed 4 5 6 201 leaving behind the crystalline particles as displayed in figure 9. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Figure 9. Isolation of CNC from cellulose by sulphuric acid hydrolysis. Reprinted with 22 permission.57 Copyright 2017 Royal Society of Chemistry. 23 24 202 25 26 27 203 The amorphous regions present in the cellulose chain is the first and easily accessible to the acid 28 29 204 for the hydrolytic action due to kinetic force and steric hindrance however the crystalline 30 31 205 regions are more unaffected by the hydrolysis. 13, 56 The size, morphology and degree of 32 33 206 crystallinity will vary depends on the source. The acid hydrolysis can be achieved using 34 35 36 207 hydrochloric acid (HCL) and sulphuric acid. However, HCL does not result in stable suspensions 37 38 208 due to the absence of the surface charge. Whereas in the case of sulphuric acid hydrolysis, the 39 40 209 surface of the cellulose attains the half ester sulfate groups resulting in high negative charge. 59 It 41 42 43 210 was reported that the length and surface charge of CNC fibers depends on the hydrolysis period 44 45 211 by Dong et al.60The length of CNC fibers decreased while increasing the hydrolysis time by 46 47 212 increasing the surface charge. 48 49 50 213 Another interesting aspect was studied by R.H. Marchessault et al. which showed the 51 52 214 61 53 birefringent liquid crystalline phases. Revol et al. in 1992 proved that CNC formed chiral 54 55 215 nematic phases. The authors stated that cellulose, in the form of fibrillar fragments was dispersed 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 15 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 216 in water and above critical concentration, the selforganization of cellulose crystallites into chiral 4 5 6 217 nematic liquid crystalline phase (parallel alignments of the anisotropic crystallites) was observed. 7 62 8 218 9 10 11 219 BACTERIAL CELLULOSE: 12 13 14 220 Evident from figure 1, cellulose is not only found in plant cell walls but also can be obtained 15 16 221 from bacteria and are named as bacterial cellulose (BC). The bacterial cellulose is also referred 17 18 222 as microbial cellulose, bacterial NC or bio cellulose.1 BC can be synthesized from Acetobacter, 19 20 63 21 223 Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, and Sarcina by aqueous culture media cultivation. The 22 23 224 morphology of the bacterial cellulose is shown in the figure8c. 24 25 26 225 ELECTROSPUN CELLULOSE NANOFIBERS: 27 28 29 226 In this method, cellulose is dissolved in a suitable solvent and a high voltage is applied through 30 31 227 the solution so that the particles are charged and repulsive force is created. The network of the 32 33 228 34 ECNF is shown in the figure 8d. At a critical voltage, the repulsive forces overcome the surface 35 36 229 tension of the solution. When it is passed through air, the solvent evaporates resulting in fiber 37 38 230 formation which are then collected on an electrically grounded plate.64 ECNF is used invarious 39 40 231 applications.65 41 42 43 232 IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE BIOMASS: 44 45 46 233 Agriculture sector is producing huge volume of wastes which is menace to the environment as 47 48 49 234 they are either burnt in the fields causing air pollution or accumulated in the soil. The recovery of 50 51 235 this waste makes it possible to protect the environment. But at the same time, it will also create 52 53 236 new economy. Agriculture waste is the richest form of natural fiber and it is more promising and 54 55 56 237 sustainable material. Towards the advancement of the materials, scientists and researchers need 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 16 of 70

1 2 3 238 to elaborate new materials and new technology based on intelligent and ecoconscious materials. 4 5 6 239 In other words, materials have greater impact on environment and thus choosing them reflects on 7 8 240 the technologies they are used. On that account, materials can be an important part of solution to 9 10 241 the problem that created by specific technology. Aforesaid solution could be developing a new 11 12 242 material that works better based on ecodesigned or bio based products.66 Hence, interest 13 14 15 243 towards sustainable materials produced using crop waste is increasing among researchers. 16 17 244 Compared to wood in which case cellulose is present in secondary cell wall, it is more facile to 18 19 245 isolate cellulose from agriculture fibers wherein cellulose is found in primary cell wall and the 20 21 67 22 246 fibrillation in the latter case is done with low energy consumption. 23 24 25 247 As per the OECDFAO (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and 38 the 26 27 248 Food and Agriculture Organization) agriculture outlook, every year farmers are harvesting 39.35 28 29 249 million tons of natural fibres from plants.68 Considering the amount of production, the waste 30 31 250 32 outcome is also a lot out of which fibers can be obtained. Correspondingly, few millions of 33 34 251 metric tons of fibers are available every year and the sum increases annually. Converting these 35 36 252 waste materials into wealth is ongoing interest of the researchers. NC from plant origin alone or 37 38 253 with mixture of another materials can be used in quite a lot of applications. Natural fibers serving 39 40 41 254 as agri based raw material for the extraction of NC can be obtained from all parts of the plant 42 43 255 like stem, leaves, bark, seeds. Fibers gained from the stem are called ‘bast fibers’ and few 44 45 256 examples of bast fibers are flax, hemp, kenaf etc. Pineapple, banana, date palm, Sisal are 46 47 48 257 examples of leaf fiber and cotton, kapok & coir falls under the seed fibers. 49 50 258 The quality of the fibers depends on different factors like production location, climatic 51 52 259 conditions, plant species as presented in figure 10.69 Consequently, it is a requisite to have better 53 54 260 55 understanding of the properties of vegetal waste fiber. 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 17 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Copyrights 2011 Elsevier. 22 23 24 261 ISOLATION OF NANOCELLULOSE FROM AGRICULTURE WASTE: 25 26 27 262 The chemical composition of NC consists of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, pectins and others 28 29 263 as discussed earlier. It is indispensable to remove lignin and other components to get pure 30 31 32 264 cellulose. Figure 11 shows the exact picture of diverse techniques involved in the production of 33 34 265 NC. Alkali treatment followed by delignification (bleaching) is the first process in the extraction 35 36 266 of NC from any fiber. NC can be extracted from countless agriculture biomass by means of 37 38 39 267 chemical, mechanical or enzymatic treatment. The isolation of cellulose nanocrystals can be 40 41 268 attained by acid hydrolysis directly after the purification of biomass. Whereas nanofibrillated 42 43 269 cellulose is produced typically by mechanical treatments like homogenization, grinding, steam 44 45 270 46 explosion, Cryocrushing etc. The detailed procedures of these methods are discussed in the 47 48 271 following sections. 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 18 of 70

1 2 3 281 PURIFICATION OF BIOMASS: 4 5 6 282 The first interest involved in the extraction of NC is purification of biomass to remove non 7 8 283 9 cellulosic (hemicellulose, lignin) to get the pure cellulose fibers. Firstly, raw materials treated 10 67,105 106 88 11 284 with alkali (NaOH or KOH), organic solvents , Soxhlet or mineral acids in order to 12 13 285 remove the hemicellulose, lignin, pectin’s and waxes (This step also called as pulping). 14 15 286 Secondly, delignification often called as bleaching is usually done by chemical process. The 16 17 18 287 bleaching step involves single or multiple stages depending the end use applications. The most 19 20 288 frequent bleaching agents used are sodium chlorite,75 hydrogen peroxide, 72 oxygen or ozone. 21 22 289 Additional process like also called as sulfite process is also carried in the 23 24 70 25 290 purification process. 26 27 28 291 EXTRACTION OF CNC: 29 30 31 292 Classical extraction of cellulose nanocrystals includes 6065 wt.% of sulfuric acid hydrolysis 32 33 293 (H2SO4) at temperature less than 50 ºC followed by purification of biomass as shown in figure 34 35 294 11. Acid hydrolysis benefits to disintegrate the fibers into nanoscale and helps in preferential 36 37 295 acid hydrolysis of the amorphous parts of cellulose leaving behind the crystalline parts of 38 39 33 40 296 cellulose. The hydrolysis is followed by repeated cycles of sonication and dialysis against 41 42 297 ionized water yielding the pure CNC. CNC can also be produced by the acid hydrolysis using 43 44 298 hydrochloric acid (HCL), phosphoric acid and hydrobromic acid.107–109Apart these, CNC was 45 46 110 47 299 also isolated by microbial hydrolysis. One of the recent study showed the isolation of CNC 48 49 300 using catalytic ionic liquid hydrolysis.111The downside of producing CNC using HCL is that the 50 51 301 suspension is unstable leading to the flocculation112 wherein during sulfuric acid hydrolysis, the 52 53 - 54 302 sulfate ester (-OSO3 ) are randomly spread on the surface of the nanoparticles resulting in the 55 56 303 electrostatic layer which promotes the dispersion of CNCs in water. 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 27 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 304 Importantly, the acid hydrolysis conditions like hydrolysis time, concentration of the acid, 4 5 ͦ 6 305 temperature affect the properties of CNC. The influence of temperature ranging from 45 to 72 C 7 8 306 on the sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cotton was studied by ElazzouziHafraoui et al. The authors 9 10 307 reported that increase in temperature resulted in shorter crystals. Though there was no clear 11 12 308 effect on width was reported.113 These studies were carried out on the wood/cotton based NC. 13 14 15 309 However they can also be applicable to the crop and industrial waste based NC. 16 17 18 310 In literature, CNCs were obtained from agriculture waste like mulberry barks, coconut husk, 19 20 311 cassava bagasse, rice husk, onion skin waste, citrus waste etc. The dimensions and structural 21 22 312 morphology of these CNCs are tabulated in table3 and figure 13 respectively. Of vital 23 24 25 313 importance in the production of CNC, the industries are trying to reuse the sulfuric acid. The cost 26 27 314 of sulfuric acid is 46 times more than that of the market pulp. Hence recovering the acid by 28 29 315 centrifugation and reusing the sulfuric acid can provide an extensive cost advantage.114 30 31 32 316 EXTRACTION OF NFC: 33 34 35 317 Unlike the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals which could be extracted in single step after 36 37 318 purification of the cellulose fibers. NFC is extracted in different steps like homogenization,54 38 39 115 116 117 98 40 319 cryocrushing, grinding , micro fluidization , and ultrasonication. Since the mechanical 41 42 320 treatment consumes high energy, chemical and enzymatic pretreatments have been followed 43 44 118 321 prior. Chemical pretreatment includes tempooxidation, quarterisation, refining etc. and in the 45 46 119 47 322 enzymatic pretreatment, enzymes like endo and/or exoglucanase were used previously. In this 48 49 323 section, initially the pretreatments are discussed in detail followed by the mechanical process 50 51 324 involved in the production of NFC. 52 53 54 325 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 28 of 70

1 2 3 326 PRETREATMENTS: 4 5 6 327 Pretreatment is the very important step for the extraction of the NFC. Chemical or enzymatic 7 8 328 9 pretreatment helps to overcome the recalcitrance of plant cell wall. Recalcitrance in other words 10 11 329 is the resistance of the cell wall breakdown. The deconstruction of cellulose and noncellulosic 12 13 330 materials like lignin and hemicellulose from the cell wall is not a very simple process because 14 15 331 the recalcitrance results from the extreme crystalline structure of cellulose surrounded with lignin 16 17 18 332 and hemicellulose. An ideal cleavage of biomass to extract pure cellulose must prevent the loss 19 20 333 of cellulose, be cost effective and consume less energy and produce less toxic wastes and hence 21 22 334 pretreatments should comply all these criteria.120 Mechanical extraction of NFC consumes high 23 24 25 335 energy from 20,000–30,000 kWh/ton. That being said, chemical or enzyme pretreatments bring 26 121 27 336 down the energy consumption 20times less, i.e. 1000 kWh/ton. 28 29 30 337 CHEMICAL PRE-TREATMENT: 31 32 33 338 The chemical pretreatment comprises 1. Acid hydrolysis 2. Alkaline hydrolysis 3. Oxidation 34 35 339 and 4. Organic solvents/ionic liquids. Acid hydrolysis breaks the hydronium ions in the biomass 36 37 340 and inter and intra molecular bonding between hemicelluloses and lignin leaving behind the pure 38 39 40 341 cellulose. Acids like sulfuric acid (H2SO4), hydrochloric acid (HCL), nitric acid (HNO3) and 41 42 342 phosphoric acid (H3PO4) are often used for the pretreatments. Rosa et al. used H2SO4 acid 43 44 343 hydrolysis to treat coconut husk fibers, Wang et al. used HCL to treat soy pods.75,86 Strong acid 45 46 47 344 hydrolysis is not ecofriendly. Moreover, it is difficult to recover the acid after the hydrolysis. On 48 49 345 the other hand, the dilute acids at moderate temperature achieve better hydrolysis.122 50 51 52 346 The alkali treatment is mainly to remove the hemicellulose and it also helps in breaking the 53 54 347 bonds between cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The alkali treatment involves the 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 29 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 348 saponification of intermolecular ester bond between lignin and hemicelluloses. Normally, alkalis 4 5 6 349 like NaOH, KOH, Ca (OH)2, hydrazine and ammonium hydroxide. Most of the crop waste 7 8 350 biomass like rice husk, mulberry barks, onion skin waste, and mango seed were treated with 9 10 351 sodium hydroxide to remove lignin. The alkali treatment also causes swelling of the cellulose 11 12 352 which leads to the increase in the surface area and decrease in the degree of crystallinity. In 2006 13 14 15 353 Saito et al. used TEMPO (2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidineNoxyl) to oxidise cellulose while 16 17 354 extracting NFC by blending process.118 Organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, acetone, 18 19 355 ethylene glycol are also used in removing lignin and hemicelluloses. 20 21 22 356 ENZYMATIC PRE-TREATMENT: 23 24 25 357 Biological enzymes catalyse the hydrolysis of cellulose fibers which makes the fibrillation much 26 27 28 358 easier. Pääkkö et al., 2007 used endoglucanase to hydrolyse cellulose fibers and they carried out 29 30 359 three following steps before the isolation of NFC using micro fluidizer. 1) Refining the fibers to 31 32 360 swell the cellulose making it more available for the enzymes 2) enzymatic hydrolysis for the 33 34 361 delamination of fibers and 3) Washing and yet again refining.119 Mayra Mariño et al. (2015) used 35 36 37 362 Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac 306) enzyme for the degradation of citrus waste fibers 38 39 363 to yield cellulose nanofibers.97 40 41 42 364 MECHANICAL TREATMENT: 43 44 45 365 It is worth to note that in this section authors covered the mechanical treatments used for the 46 47 366 extraction of NFC from agriculture biomass though there are other mechanical treatments. In the 48 49 50 367 literature, we can find that nanofibrillated cellulose have been extracted from number of agri 51 52 368 biomass like alfa and sunflower, carrot, kenaf bast fibers, jute fibers, peel of prickly pear fibers, 53 54 369 soybean pods, oats straw etc. as shown in table 5. Regardless of the source, NFC is produced 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 30 of 70

1 2 3 370 chiefly using mechanical treatment. The mechanical treatment comprises 1. Homogenization, 2. 4 5 6 371 Micro fluidization, 3. Grinding, 4. Cryocrushing and 5. Ultrasonication. All these treatments 7 8 372 work under high shear forces cleaving the cellulose fibers resulting in the fibrillation. Following 9 10 373 is the detailed description of these different mechanical treatments. 11 12 13 374 REFINING AND HOMOGENIZATION: 14 15 16 375 Refining in most cases is performed prior homogenization. Different refiners like PFI mills, disk 17 18 376 refiners are used to refine the pulp.71,123 In 2011, Karande et al., extracted NFC from cotton 19 20 124 21 377 fibers by using only disk refiner. The working principle of homogenizer is shown in figure 12 22 23 378 a. 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 125 46 Figure 12.

This procedure is repeated number of times to increase the degree of fibrillation. 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 31 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 382 The isolation of micro fibrillated cellulose using homogenization was first done by Turbak et al. 4 5 54 6 383 in 1985 using Gaulin homogenizer. Dufresne et al. (1997) produced cellulose micro fibrils 7 8 384 from sugar beet pulp using homogenization. The purified sugar beet pulp suspension was poured 9 10 385 into the vessel and high pressure (500 bars) was applied for 0.53 hours resulting in the 11 12 386 invidualization of micro fibrils.67 In 2007, Wang and Sain used soybean pods as a raw material to 13 14 15 387 produce NFC. The pretreated soybean fibers were first beaten and refined in PFI mill at 12000 16 17 388 revolution which reduced the fiber length. The sample was then homogenized at high pressure 18 19 389 (5001000 bars) for 20 passes to delaminate the cellulose fibers into nanofibers.71 NFC from Alfa 20 21 22 390 and sunflower was extracted in 2013 by Chaker et al. using high pressure homogenization. The 23 24 391 delignified pulp was pumped into GEA homogenizer processor. In this case, the fibrillation was 25 26 392 done in two steps. During the first step, 1.5 wt. % of the fiber suspension was passed through the 27 28 29 393 slits at 300 bars for several times to increase the viscosity of the slurry. Then the pressure was 30 128 31 394 increased to 600 bars for the defibrillation process. The main drawback of this method is 32 33 395 clogging of the system and so the fiber size should be reduced before performing high pressure 34 35 396 homogenization.10 The other downside of this treatment is the excessive energy consumption for 36 37 38 397 which few pretreatments were developed as discussed in the previous section. 39 40 41 398 MICROFLUIDIZATION: 42 43 44 399 Micro fluidization is another mechanical treatment to manufacture NFC and this method was 45 46 400 first used by Zimmermann et al. at 2004.117 In this method, the cellulosic suspension is passed 47 48 401 through a Z or Y shaped chamber as shown in figure 12b with channel sizes usually 200400 49 50 51 402 µm and by applying high pressure through intensifier pump, the fibers are delaminated by the 52 53 403 resulting shear forces against the colliding suspension and the channel walls. Ferrer et al. 54 55 404 extracted NFC from empty palm fruit bunch fibers (EPFBF) using microfluidizer.129The 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 32 of 70

1 2 3 405 clogging of fibers in homogenizer can be overcome in micro fluidization process because it has 4 5 130 6 406 no inline moving parts, and it can easily be resolved by reverse flow through the chamber. 7 8 9 407 GRINDING: 10 11 408 Another method to produce NFC is grinding process in which the sample slurry is passed 12 13 14 409 through an ultrafine grinder as in figure 12c. The principle is that the fibers are ground between a 15 16 410 static and a rotating stone (disc) rotor. The distance of the discs can be adjusted based on the type 17 18 411 of the raw material. The cell wall structure, bonds are cleaved down by the shear forces produced 19 20 21 412 during grinding causing the NFC production. In 2012, Wang et al. produced NFC for first time 22 23 413 from bleached eucalyptus pulp using Super MassColloider (Model: MKZA62, Disk Model: 24 25 414 MKGA680#, Masuko Sangyo Co., Ltd, Japan) grinder at 1500 rpm. They used the energy input 26 27 28 415 from 5 and 30 kWh/kg to study the relation between consumed energy and the fibrillation by 29 86 30 416 means of crystallinity and degree of polymerisation. Karimi et al., Jossel et al., Siquiera et al. 31 32 417 extracted cellulose nanofibers from kenaf bast fibers, wheat straw and carrot residue respectively 33 34 418 using grinding process.26,91,95 35 36 37 38 419 CRYO CRUSHING: 39 40 420 In 1997, Dufresne et al. isolated NFC from sugar beet pulp using cryocrushing.67 In this 41 42 421 treatment, the cellulosic fibers are frozen in liquid and then crushed by high shearing 43 44 45 422 forces which causes the release of exert pressure of ice crystals on the cell wall breakdown 46 47 423 leading to the nanofiber formation. Figure 12d shows the working principle of Cryocrushing. 48 49 424 Bhatnagar and Sain extracted NFC from hemp, flax and rutabaga in 2005 using cryocrushing.70 50 51 52 425 53 54 55 426 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 33 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 427 ULTRASONICATION: 4 5 6 428 Ultrasonication is another strategy of producing NFC in which the suspension is exposed to the 7 8 429 9 ultrasonic waves. During this process, alternating low and high pressure waves are produced 10 11 430 creating, expanding and colliding the gas bubbles. These hydrodynamic forces are used to 12 13 431 liberate cellulose nanofibers. Junko Tsukamoto et al. isolated NFC from citrus processing waste 14 15 432 from oranges (CPWO) using ultrasonic processor, Sonics at 750 Watt, 20 kHz and 4J. The 16 17 93 18 433 residue from enzymatic hydrolysis of CPWO was used as a raw material here. 19 20 21 434 STEAM EXPLOSION: 22 23 435 Steam explosion is a thermomechanical process in which the heat carried by the steam penetrates 24 25 26 436 sample by diffusion and the sudden release of pressure generates shear forces cleaving the 27 28 437 glyosidic and hydrogen bonds leading to the isolation of nanofibers. This method was used by 29 30 438 Cherian et al. to isolate NFC from pineapple leaf and by Deepa et al. in the production of NFC 31 32 439 74,77 33 from banana fibers. 34 35 36 440 BALL MILLING: 37 38 441 In this technique, the sample is placed in a cylindrical, hollow jar partly filled with metal, 39 40 442 ceramic or zirconia ball and when the jar rotates, the collision between fibers, ball and the walls 41 42 43 443 of the container causes the fibrillation. Using ball milling Baheti et al. prepared NFC from jute 44 45 444 fibers.79 46 47 48 445 CHARACTERISATION OF NANOCELLULOSE: 49 50 51 446 In this section, the important characterizations of NC produced from agriculture biomass are 52 53 447 discussed. The quality assessment of produced NC is done by studying morphology, chemical 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 34 of 70

1 2 3 448 composition, crystallinity and thermal properties few of them are discussed in the following 4 5 6 449 section. 7 8 9 450 MORPHOLOGY: 10 11 451 12 Morphology is the key parameter to check the fibrillation of the NFC. It is imperative to study 13 14 452 the morphology of the obtained NC to understand the sizes, smoothness and fibrillation. The 15 16 453 morphology in usual depends on the source and extraction methods. The size and roughness of 17 18 454 the fibers is reduced during the production process possibly because of the removal of lignin, 19 20 21 455 hemicellulose, lignin and other noncellulosic materials during the alkali and bleaching stages. 22 23 456 Morphology is studied using many microscopic techniques like scanning electronic microscopy 24 25 457 (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron 26 27 28 458 microscopy (TEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). Few of the micrographs of nano 29 30 459 fibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals produced from different agriculture biomass 31 32 460 sources are shown in figure 13. 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 35 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

The sizes of NFC and CNC produced from various agribiomass 47 48 49 481 sources are listed in the table 3. 50 51 52 482 Beside source, the morphology of NFC depends on the number of passes (cycle time) and pre 53 54 483 treatments involved in the isolation. As stated earlier, the homogenization is repeated for 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 37 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 484 different passes to get maximum fibrillation. On that note, Lee et al. in 2009 studied the effect of 4 5 6 485 cycle time (120 passes) of homogenization on the size of NFC obtained from commercial 7 8 486 microcrystalline cellulose. With the 15 passes they reported that the fibrillation was limited only 9 10 487 to the surface as shown in figure below. However, with mechanical treatment of 1015 passes the 11 12 488 fibrils were split into smaller fibrils with increased aspect ratio. When passed the suspension 13 14 15 489 further for 20 passes, the fibrils were more chopped into thinner fibers. Having said that, the 16 17 490 fibers tend to aggregate due to the higher surface area and high density of hydroxyl groups. 18 19 491 Hence the authors concluded that increasing the cycle time may result in the decreased 20 21 133 22 492 mechanical strength. 23 24 25 493 Zuluaga et al. (2009) investigated the effect of pretreatments of banana rachis on the 26 27 494 morphology of NFC obtained by using TEM shown in figure 14. They pretreated the banana 28 29 495 rachis using peroxide alkaline (PA) (figure 14a), peroxide alkalineHCL (PAHCL) (figure 14b), 30 31 496 32 5 wt.% potassium hydroxide (KOH) (figure 14c) and 18 wt. % KOH (figure 14d). The PA and 5 33 34 497 wt.% KOH treated sample showed loose networks whereas PAHCL treatment resulted in 35 36 498 shorter fibrils and finally with 18 wt.% KOH the microfibrils were even shorter and interestingly 37 38 499 part of cellulose I was changed into cellulose II.72 39 40 41 500 42 43 44 501 45 46 47 502 48 49 50 503 51 52 53 504 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 38 of 70

Copyright 2017 Elsevier. 27 28 29 508 The morphology of CNC depends on source, hydrolysis time, temperature, acid concentration 30 31 509 and different acids like hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or acetic acid. The effect of pre 32 33 510 treatments and the hydrolysis time on the morphology of CNC obtained from coconut husk fibers 34 35 75 36 511 were inspected by Rosa et al., 2010. 37 38 39 512 CRYSTALLINITY: 40 41 42 513 The crystallinity study of produced NC is necessary to understand the effect of production 43 44 514 methods on the crystal structure of the cellulose. The crystallinity is usually studied by Xray 45 46 515 diffraction (XRD) technique. It is explained elsewhere that cellulose is made of highly crystalline 47 48 516 and disordered amorphous regions. It is believed that during extraction the disordered amorphous 49 50 51 517 regions are removed resulting in the increased crystallinity. The degree of crystallinity of NFC 52 53 518 and CNC gained from different crop waste sources is shown in the table 4. 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 39 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 522 The crystallinity of NC is higher compared to that of starting material and this is due to the 4 5 6 523 removal of lignin, hemicellulose, pectin or any noncellulosic materials. In some cases, the fibers 7 8 524 can partially contain both cellulose I and II. Normally, cellulose I can be identified at 2θ=14.9º 9 10 525 (110), 2θ=16.6º (110), 2θ=22.7º (200) and 2θ=34.4º (004). 11 12 13 526 THERMAL PROPERTIES: 14 15 16 527 The thermal property of NC is indispensable to use them in the composites. Cellulosic materials 17 18 528 degrade below 400ºC 135and the degradation temperature depends on the structure and chemical 19 20 21 529 composition. The degradation starts at lower temperature owing to the decomposition of 22 23 530 hemicellulose, lignin and then pyrolysis of cellulose occurs after which charring happens. The 24 25 531 thermal stability of NFC in most of the cases increases due to the removal of hemicelluloses and 26 27 136 28 532 lignin. In contrast, the thermal stability of CNC decreases when compared to that of raw 29 30 533 material because of the introduction of sulfate groups. The sulfate groups degrade at around 31 32 534 120ºC and they decrease the defense of cellulose pyrolysis thereby decreasing the thermal 33 34 535 stability. 35 36 37 536 APPLICATIONS: 38 39 40 537 The applications of NC from different sources are discussed in this section. NC is of growing 41 42 43 538 interest on the grounds of innumerous applications, for example in various realm from paper 44 45 539 industry, composites, biomedicine, textile, construction to aerospace, automotive, and sensors 46 47 540 etc.137,138. Recently few studies reported the substantial role of NC in the field of filter 48 49 50 541 application as shown in figure 15c. 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 42 of 70

1 2 3 543 Importantly, the properties like high mechanical properties and low density with high aspect ratio 4 5 6 544 facilitate to use NC in composite field for the fabrication of lightweight and high performance 7 8 545 materials. The high water holding capacity due to the enlarged surface area enables their use as a 9 10 546 rheology modifier mainly in paints and personal care products and this field need to be explored 11 12 547 further for better understanding. Recently hydrophobic aerogels produced from rice straw 13 14 15 548 (agricultural waste) was developed and results shown the great tendency of absorption of 16 17 549 hydrophobic solvents as shown in figure 15d. NC has attractive optical properties this could be 18 19 550 an added benefit in the fields of electronics, ultrafilter , sensors and transparent solar 20 21 22 551 cells. Due to their biodegradability, compatibility NC can play vital role in biomedical field for 23 24 552 the progress of drug delivery, artificial body parts and tissue engineering. 25 26 27 553 Composites: 28 29 30 554 Production of high mechanical performance composites can be achieved by the reinforcement of 31 32 555 nano fillers into polymers. In this case, NC is an appropriate candidate for composites 33 34 556 preparation compared to the nonbiodegradable nano fillers like carbon nanotubes, nano clays 35 36 139 37 557 etc. However, it is challenging to prepare nanocomposites by using NC for the reason of poor 38 39 558 dispersion of CNC and NFC up on drying and low compatibility with hydrophobic matrices. It 40 41 559 can be overcome by introducing hydrophobic groups through surface modification and grafting. 42 43 44 560 Iwatake et al. has described the cellulose nanofiber reinforcement on polylactic acid (PLA). The 45 46 561 goal of this study was to prepare green composites. The nanofiber reinforcement increased the 47 48 562 Young’s modulus and tensile strength of PLA by 40% and 25% respectively.146Recently, high 49 50 51 563 dispersion and thermal stability was achieved for the quaternary salt modified CNC reinforced 52 139 53 564 with polypropylene as shown in the figure 15a. The first application of NC in composite 54 55 565 reinforcement was done by Favier and group wherein poly(ScoBuA) was reinforced by using 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 44 of 70

1 2 3 566 cellulose whiskers. The authors found that the mechanical properties were increased 4 5 147 6 567 significantly. 7 8 9 568 10 11 569 12 Packaging: 13 14 570 In the modern world, usage of packaged food is increased. Most of the food is packed in the 15 16 17 571 petro based polymers. Therefore, industries are very keen to develop biodegradable and 18 19 572 lightweight foodpackaging materials. This kind of materials can preserve the quality in terms of 20 21 573 freshness and taste. In this aspect VTT technical research center produced bio based packaging 22 23 24 574 materials as shown in figure 15b. Moreover, the shelf life of the food also will increase which is 25 26 575 important for both consumers and industries.148 27 28 576 Previously, paper was coated with mixture of microfibrillarted cellulose and 29 30 31 577 chlorhexidine digluconate (antibacterial molecule) and quality of the food packed with these 32 149 33 578 materials also reported. Elsewhere reported the antimicrobial activity of the nisin grafted CNF 34 35 579 has shown promising antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus 36 37 580 .150 38 bacteria NC materials increases the fiberfiber bond strength and increases the reinforcement 39 40 581 effect on paper materials with only less amount of cellulose pulp as a filler resulting in the light 41 42 582 weight packaging. 43 44 45 583 Paints and coatings: 46 47 48 584 NC is an ideal material to use in the paint and coating industry. Thanks to their high surface area 49 50 585 which helps to hold the water hence acting as a highly viscous material. It is used in improving 51 52 53 586 the durability of paints and protects paints and varnishes from wear and tear caused by UV rays. 54 55 587 They can alter the viscosity of paints and coatings. The VTT group, Finland used NC in 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 45 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 588 polyurethane varnishes and paints as additives, which increased the durability of coatings of 4 5 151 6 589 paints. Some other company called Cellu Comp from United Kingdom claimed, the NC 7 152 8 590 extracted from carrot improved the hardness, flexibility and crack resistance of the paints. 9 10 11 591 Optical materials: 12 13 14 592 Nanofibrillated cellulose possess great optical properties considering the size of the NFC is less 15 16 593 than the wavelength of the visible light. Hence the paper prepared with nanofibrils are 17 18 594 transparent.153 This can be added benefit to the different applications like electronics, sensors and 19 20 21 595 solar panels. Adequate research results have been reported in the literature. Jia Huang and team 22 23 596 reported the flexible field effect transistors on the nano paper for the green electronic 24 25 597 transistor applications as shown in figure 15f.144 The other research group studied the deposition 26 27 28 598 of tindoped indium oxide along with silver nano wires and carbon nanotubes for solar cell 29 153 30 599 applications. 31 32 600 Biomedicine: 33 34 35 601 NC has antiquity of application in biomedicine as excipients, in drug delivery, for 36 37 602 enzyme/protein immobilization, implants, skin and bone tissue repair and others. The 38 39 134 40 603 competence of NC in drug delivery was studied by Letchford et al. . This study proved that 41 42 604 nanocrystalline cellulose could bind the significant amount of ionizable water soluble antibiotics 43 44 605 tetracycline and doxorubicin by surface modification using cationic surfactant called CTAB 45 46 47 606 (cetyl trimethylammonium bromide). In other study reported by Alain dufresne and his group the 48 49 607 crosslinking between the alginate and oxidised nano fibrillated cellulose hydrogels for the drug 50 51 608 delivery system was produced as shown in figure 15e.143 Same group also reported the double 52 53 54 609 membrane hydrogels using cationic cellulose nanocrystals and alginate for quick and slow drug 55 154 56 610 release from first layer and second layer respectively. Nanomaterials have wide applications as 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Page 46 of 70

1 2 3 611 hydrogels in tissue engineering. In 2015, Markstedt et al. reported the novel method to produce 4 5 6 612 3D bioprinting with living cells.

The attractive properties 15 16 616 of the tiny fibers and particles play vital role for the creation of the new bio economy. Few 17 18 617 decades ago, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) emerged as new material, which is widely used in 19 20 21 618 pharma, composites and chemical fields. Subsequently, NC is emerging as a key material in 22 23 619 industrialization.155 According to the global market outlook for NC, by 2022, the annual turnover 24 25 620 can reach 808.29 million dollars. The significant mechanical, optical and rheological properties 26 27 28 621 of these materials attracted the both researchers and industries. The journey of the NC from last 29 30 622 seven decades is shown in figure 16 along with the major research findings. 31 32 33 623 The enticements for the NC industries are because it is a new source with wide range of 34 35 624 applications that need to be established. Hence producing new products resulting in new business 36 37 625 breakthroughs. In addition, they can be extracted from easily available sources and are bearable 38 39 40 626 and renewable. The first pilot plant to produce NC was started in 2011 by Innventia at 41 42 627 Sweden.156The industrialization of NC can be parted into three main segments viz. products, 43 44 628 applications and areas where there are produced. The products of NC are cellulose nanocrystals, 45 46 47 629 nanofibrillated cellulose, bacterial cellulose and electro spun cellulose nanofibers. Applications 48 49 630 of NC includes paper industry, composites, personal care, biomedical, electronics, paints etc. 50 51 631 Figure 16 shows the pioneering work during the journey of NC towards industrialization. 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 47 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

1 2 3 675 methods should also be developed. These short comings should be overcome and single step 4 5 6 676 preparation methods should be developed by the researchers. In recent times, the researchers also 7 8 677 concentrate on the recovery of lignin and hemicelluloses that are removed during the purification 9 10 678 process for their further use in different applications. The new sources like agriculture and 11 12 679 industrial wastes should be considered for the preparation of NC industrially. The properties of 13 14 15 680 the NC from these sources are also promising when compared to that of NC from wood sources. 16 17 681 Since the crop and industrial wastes are abundant everywhere in the world, they can be used in 18 19 682 number of applications worldwide. 20 21 22 683 CONCLUSION: 23 24 25 684 This review has presented the detailed study on the preparation and properties of the 26 27 28 685 nanocellulose obtained from the crop and industrial wastes, application of NC from various 29 30 686 sources and the most recent industrial trend of wood based NC. This review emphasizes the use 31 32 687 of agriculture and industrial wastes in the field of nanotechnology and it should be explored 33 34 688 more by the researchers and industries. The fore mentioned sources are not only easily available, 35 36 37 689 cost effective and diverse in properties but also, they can produce the valueadded nanomaterials 38 39 690 which will create new economy and acts as most suitable raw material for the NC production. 40 41 691 While the applications of NC have been explored in different fields as composites, films, 42 43 44 692 hydrogels and aerogels, many new age applications in the form of smart materials, stiffer carbon 45 46 693 fibers, printing ink and electronic devices should be explored. With the everincreasing 47 48 694 environment concerns and moving towards green materials, the researchers should think about 49 50 51 695 outside the box applications to move the cellulose nanomaterials forward considering the 52 53 696 alternative sustainable raw materials like agriculture and industrial wastes. 54 55 56 697 57 58 59 60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment Page 59 of 70 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering
