Abstract

Generally, the paper considered to be worthy and valuable material and plays a crucial role in economic, cultural, and historical perspectives. Paper is a biodegradable material and mainly used for various purposes like storing of information (books, magazine, newspaper, art, etc.), packaging (envelope, corrugated box, wrapping material, wallpaper, etc.), personal use (diary, note pad, scratch paper), cleaning paper (toilet paper, tissues, litter paper, paper towels), construction paper (origami, quilling, paper clothing, etc.), paper for research (blotting paper, litmus paper, chromatography paper, butter paper, filter paper, insulation paper, etc.), and value-added paper (bank usage, money, agreement papers, security papers, etc.). The papermaking industry continuously faced many problems in various aspects: (1) increasing the quality of paper employing mechanical, physical, and printing properties, (2) degradation of recycled fibers and (3) restriction in the production cost. The main purpose of the application of nanomaterials in the paper industry is to increase the originality and functionality of paper, such as optical properties, climate resistance properties, and mechanical properties. It is the possible covering of nanofibers with nanostructured materials in paper products as a layer. Nano-based biomaterials like nanocellulose have pursued many advantages to overcome the abovementioned problems. The use of nanocellulosic based material in the paper industry has several advantages like improving paper quality, high surface area, wet strength, stiffness, antimicrobial, electric behavior and biodegradability, renewability, and sustainability.
