Interest in microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) has been increasing exponentially. During the last decade, this bio-based nanomaterial was essentially used in nanocomposites for its reinforcement property. Its nano-scale dimensions and its ability to form a strong entangled nanoporous network, however, have encouraged the emergence of new high-value applications. In previous years, its mode of production has completely changed, as many forms of optimization have been developed. New sources, new mechanical processes, and new pre- and post-treatments are currently under development to reduce the high energy consumption and produce new types of MFC materials on an industrial scale. The nanoscale characterization possibilities of different MFC materials are thus increasing intensively. Therefore, it is critical to review such MFC materials and their properties. Moreover, very recent studies have proved the significant barrier properties of MFC. Hence, it is proposed to focus on the barrier properties of MFC used in films, in nanocomposites, or in paper coating.
人们对微原纤维纤维素（MFC）的兴趣呈指数级增长。在过去的十年中，由于其增强性能，这种基于生物的纳米材料主要用于纳米复合材料。然而，其纳米级尺寸及其形成强缠结纳米多孔网络的能力，鼓励了新的高价值应用的出现。在过去几年中，其生产方式发生了彻底的改变，因为已经开发出许多形式的优化方法。目前正在开发新的来源、新的机械工艺和新的预处理和后处理方法，以降低高能耗并在工业规模上生产新型 MFC 材料。因此，不同 MFC 材料的纳米级表征可能性正在得到极大的扩展。因此，对这种 MFC 材料及其性能进行综述是至关重要的。此外，最近的研究证明了 MFC 的显著阻隔性能。因此，建议重点关注 MFC 在薄膜、纳米复合材料或纸张涂层中的阻隔性能。
