Lignoselülozik materyallerden çeşitli proseslerle yenilenebilir malzemeler üretmek, bilim insanları için önemli bir araştırma alanı haline gelmiş ve bu süreç, selüloz nanokristal (SNK) ve selüloz nanofibril (SNF) gibi yeni malzemelerin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Bahsi geçen biyo-bazlı malzemelerin geliştirilmesi, temel bilgi birikiminin artmasına ve yenilikçi proseslerin oluşturulmasına katkıda bulunurken, selülozik nano malzemelerin çeşitli mühendislik disiplinlerinde yaygın kullanımına da zemin hazırlamıştır. Biyobozunur ve biyouyumlu olmalarının yanı sıra, tarımsal ve endüstriyel atıklardan dahi üretilebilmeleri, selülozik nanomalzemeleri çevresel açıdan sürdürülebilir hale getirmekte ve bu nedenle araştırmacıların konuya ilişkin ilgisi giderek artırmaktadır. Bu derleme makalesi, selüloz nanokristaller (SNK) başta olmak üzere selülozik nanomalzemelerin (SNF) üretim süreçleri, elde edildikleri kaynaklar, karakterizasyon yöntemleri ilişkin güncel gelişmeleri ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

The production of renewable materials from lignocellulosic materials through various processes has become a significant research area for scientists, leading to the emergence of novel materials such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). The development of these bio-based materials not only contributes to the expansion of fundamental knowledge and the creation of innovative processes but also facilitates the widespread application of cellulosic nanomaterials across various engineering disciplines. In addition to being biodegradable and biocompatible, their production from agricultural and industrial waste makes cellulosic nanomaterials environmentally sustainable, thereby increasing researchers' interest in the field. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in the production processes, raw material sources, and characterization methods of cellulosic nanomaterials, with a particular focus on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs).
