ABSTRACT
The interesting nanomaterials that have developed quickly in the latest years and have a lot of significance in the biomedical industry are nanocelluloses (NCs). This tendency is in line with the growing need for maintainable materials that will enhance wellbeing and prolong human life, as well as the need to stay up to date with medical technological advancements. Based on the most desirable characteristics of nanocellulose, a variety of novel, useful materials with a broad scope of biomedical applications have been developed. NCs-based materials have garnered a lot of interest in medical applications due to their obtainability, biodegradability, affordability, biocompatibility, sustainability, exceptional mechanical qualities and low cytotoxicity. For the year 2022, the medical field more specifically, biosensors, drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering, and medical implants, represents more than 60% of all the disciplines in which NCs are utilized. Domains, including wrapping, purification of air, ultrafiltration, elimination of pollutants, acoustics, account for around 40% of the entire number of other applications [1]. The overview of nanocellulose for medical applications is briefly reviewed in the first section of this paper. The second section explains how nanocelluloses can be modified for use in medicine. Chemically altering nanocellulose to create hydrogels, nanogels, and nanocomposites, as well as altering the surface for use in biomedicine. The review also discusses the benefits of nanocellulose over the existing technologies in the biomedical field. The final section discusses how nanocelluloses are used in the biomedical field.
