Öz

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).
