(CNC) and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), to serve as building blocks for the design of
hierarchical functional nanomaterials. Four categories of value-added nanomaterials are
envisaged here, namely aerogels, emulsions, templated materials and stimuli-responsive
nanodevices. But most importantly, we demonstrate that appropriate functionalization
methods are required in order to tailor the nanocellulose surface and further design …
