The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Advances in cellulose nanomaterials (2018, background): “Pretreatment is a very important step, because it can alter the structural organization, crystallinity, and polymorphism of cellulose, as well as various properties of the pretreated feedstock (Mariano et al. 2014).”
Materials chemistry and the futurist eco-friendly applications of nanocellulose: Status and prospect (2018, positive): “…in the polymer matrices has become intensely popular because it offers significant merits namely cheaper cost, biodegradability aspect, possibility to extract from sustainable resources, excellent mechanical characteristics, barrier properties and a high degree of surface polarity [13].”
Progress of novel techniques for lightweight automobile applications through innovative eco-friendly composite materials: A review (2020, methodology): “This method is ecofriendly in nature and maintains cellulose fractions which can be digestible by hydrolytic enzymes.(134,135) Currently, the use of enzymes for the preparation of nanocellulose has offered novel potential to attain almost pure cellulose and high yield.”
