Nanocellulose is cellulose fibrils with one of its dimensions in nanometer range. It shares specific properties of both cellulosic and nanoscale materials. The two main families of nanocellulose particles include cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). Both families have found use in paper making with CNCs limited to surface coatings and CNFs have a wide range of use in paper making. Nanocellulose has gained great interest in the paper and pulp industry because of its abundant availability, renewable and eco-friendly nature. Nanopaper is advantageous over traditional pulp paper due to its high strength, optical transparency, thermal stability, smoothness, etc. It has been widely used as wet and dry strength agent and also as a coating to improve barrier properties of the paper. The barrier properties may be destroyed due to the hydrophilic nature of nanopaper, but it can be improved by surface modifications. This review addresses an overview of the currently adopted method in the pulp and paper industry, the role of nanotechnology in the industry, the classification of nanocellulose, and its application in paper making.
