Production of Nanocellulose and Its Applications in Drug Delivery: A Critical Review

Salimi, Sina, Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat, Zarghami, Reza, Chan, Siok Yee, Yuen, Kah Hay·2019·ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Abstract

Nanocellulose, as a promising natural material, has recently received much attention because of its remarkable features including recyclability, biocompatibility, low risk of toxicity, and tunable surface properties. This review article first introduces three types of nanocellulose (nanocrystalline, nanofibrillar, and bacterial) and evaluates their production processes. In addition, contemporary research is discussed in the formulations of nanoparticles, tablets, hydrogels, and aerogels. As reported in the literature, the release time of nanocellulose-based systems varies from a few minutes to several days as they provide a controlled and sustained release. Thus, such systems have shown considerable potential for developing a novel generation of controlled drug delivery for different routes of administration (oral, transdermal, etc.). This review facilitates the selection of proper source and processing techniques for nanocellulose production while addressing opportunities and challenges ahead ending up with identifying sustainable ongoing research directions into its applications in drug delivery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
