Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide on earth. It has a large number of desirable properties. Its low toxicity makes it more useful for a variety of applications. Nowadays, its composites are used in most engineering fields. Composite consists of a polymer matrix and use as a reinforcing material. By reducing the cost of traditional fibers, it has an increasing demand for environment-friendly purposes. The use of these types of composites is inherent in moisture absorption with hindered natural fibers. This determines the reduction of polymer composite material. By appropriate chemical surface treatment of cellulose composite materials, the effect could be diminished. The most modern and advanced techniques and methods for the preparation of cellulose and polymer composites are discussed here. Cellulosic composites show a reinforcing effect on the polymer matrix as pointed out by mechanical characterization. Researchers tried their hard work to study different ways of converting various agricultural by-products into useful eco-friendly polymer composites for sustainable production. Cellulose plays building blocks, that are critical for polymer products and their engineering applications. The most common method used to prepare composites is in-situ polymerization. This help to increase the yields of cellulosic composites with a significant enhancement in thermal stability and mechanical properties. Recently, cellulose composites used as enhancing the incorporation of inorganic materials in multi-functional properties. Furthermore, we have summarized in this review the potential applications of cellulose composites in different fields like packaging, aerogels, hydrogels, and fibers.
纤维素是地球上最丰富的多糖。它具有许多理想的特性。其低毒性使其在各种应用中更有用。如今,其复合材料被用于大多数工程领域。复合材料由聚合物基体组成,并用作增强材料。通过降低传统纤维的成本,出于环保目的其需求不断增加。这类复合材料的使用固有地存在吸湿问题,天然纤维也会受到影响。这决定了聚合物复合材料性能的下降。通过对纤维素复合材料进行适当的化学表面处理,这种影响可以减弱。本文讨论了制备纤维素与聚合物复合材料的最现代、最先进的技术和方法。如机械表征所示,纤维素复合材料对聚合物基体具有增强作用。研究人员努力研究将各种农业副产品转化为有用的环保聚合物复合材料以实现可持续生产的不同方法。纤维素起着构建单元的作用,这对聚合物产品及其工程应用至关重要。制备复合材料最常用的方法是原位聚合。这有助于提高纤维素复合材料的产量,并显著提高其热稳定性和机械性能。最近,纤维素复合材料被用于增强无机材料在多功能性能方面的应用。此外,我们在本综述中总结了纤维素复合材料在包装、气凝胶、水凝胶和纤维等不同领域的潜在应用。
