Abstract

Jute is the second most important fiber in the world, which is easy to grow on all types of soil from clay to sandy loam. The popularity of jute is attributable to its abundant and cheapness, and jute fiber is mainly used in the manufacture of coarse fabrics like bags, hessian, sacking, canvas and twines. Jute is rich in cellulose, which could be served as promising candidates for nano materials production. Nano cellulose features concerned its high strength and stiffness, renewability, low density, biodegradability, low thermal expansion coefficient and high aspect ratio. Fields of use of nanocellulose include reinforcement of nanocomposite materials, thickening agents, tissue engineering scaffolds, dry-strength additive for paper, filtration media, adsorbents, etc. This review summarizes progress in nanocellulose preparation and also discusses recent developments in nanocomposite fabrication based on jute fibers.
