Abstract
In this chapter, a review of several researches is done on the development and characterization of polymer nanocomposites. Polymer nanocomposite is a promising multidisciplinary material research activity that could expand the use of polymers for various industrial applications and also in environment to remove pollutants. Polymer nanocomposites are a radical alternate to conventional polymer composites, where large amount of fillers are added to improve the properties. For polymer composite applications, the use of natural fibers is preferred to efficiently reduce the dependence on petrochemical-based plastics. The utilization of renewable materials has attracted researchers because of its easy availability and low cost. They can potentially remove the harmful effects of petroleum-based materials and thus show a greener path in the fields of application of composites. In recent years were used developing nanotechnological methods based on adsorption capabilities of cellulosic nanoparticles for monitoring hazardous substances in the environment. Along the examples are the benefits and implications of sustainable design and the use of nanocellulose in environmental applications. The discussion will be focused on structural, mechanical, as well as degradation of cellulose. Nanocellulose, wood polymer nanocomposites have renewability, availability, light weight, low cost, and most importantly minimum environmental impact (Ecofriendly) and have little effect on animal/human health. The general properties of cellulose include extensive ability of chemical modification and very high aspect ratio leading to the formation of versatile semi-crystalline fibers which is the unique characteristic of nano-materials as reinforcing agents. There is the presence of strong and complex network of hydrogen bonds which are stabilized by the ordered regions of chain packages of cellulose that resembles nanocrystalline rods.
