Abstract

Bacterial NanoCellulose (BNC) is a promising material for the production of high performance renewable composites because of its high tensile properties, low density, and low toxicity. In this chapter, we start with the discussion of both theoretical and experimental tensile properties of nanometer-scale cellulose fibrils, more commonly known as nanocellulose. This is then followed by what neat BNC offers as nanoreinforcement for polymers. The tensile properties of various neat BNC-reinforced polymer nanocomposites published in the literature to date were reviewed and are tabulated. In addition we critically discuss the micromechanical models that are suitable to describe the tensile properties of BNC-reinforced polymer nanocomposites.
