Nanoparticles vs. Microparticles
Big variation of properties inherent to the natural products (climatic conditions, maturity, type of soil,...)
The basic idea to achieve further improved fiber and composite is to eliminate the macroscopic flaws by disintegrating the natural grown fibers, and separating the almost defect free highly crystalline fibrils
Increase of the specific area (~100 m2.g-1 vs. ~1 m2.g-1)The average inter-particles distance decreases as their size
decreasesParticle-particle interactions
Improved properties for low filler content without detrimental effect on impact resistance and plastic deformation
Reduction of gas diffusion (barrier effect)
Because these microfibrils contain only a small number of defects, their axial Young's modulus is close to the one derivedfrom theoretical chemistry and potentially stronger than steel and similar to Kevlar

Native cellulose consists of hierarchical structure (built up by smaller and mechanically stronger entities-
cellulose
fibrils)
Fibrils = crystalline + noncrystalline domains (surface + along the main axis)
Noncrystalline domains form weak spots along the fibrils

Drawbacks: -
use of solvent-
lab scale

Cellulosic nanofibers have unique mechanical, optical, electrical and chemical properties that can be utilized in a variety of diverse applications.
Successful and positive results have been achieved through the efforts of many dedicative research and studies.
However, the scaling-up and the long-term durability of the nanocomposites remain as a question.
