Abstract: Extraction of nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC) and nanofibrillar cellulose (CNF) and its applications in materials have attracted the attention of researchers and industries. This nanomaterial present high resistance and rigidity, combined with the fact of low weight and availability in the environment and sustainability. Nanocelluloses can be produced by various extraction methods that involve chemical, mechanical and enzymatic production processes. These processes can be used combined or not to obtain a final product with unique characteristics. New materials, such as CNF and CNC, will bring great benefits to the improvement and discovery new ways of producing bioingredients that allow the modification of various properties in a matrix, whether polymeric or not. In this way, contributing to the construction of new materials as well as their sustainability.
