| Abstract Scope |
Plant-derived lignocellulosic nanomaterials, such as nanocellulose and nanolignin, are emerging as sustainable building blocks in green nanotechnology. Extracted from agricultural residues and forestry biomass, these biopolymers exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, biodegradability, and tunable surface chemistry. This mini-review highlights recent advancements in the isolation, functionalization, and application of lignocellulosic nanomaterials in areas including drug delivery, biodegradable packaging, and environmental remediation. Emphasis is placed on eco-friendly processing techniques and the potential to replace petroleum-based nanomaterials. The integration of plant science and materials engineering offers a promising route toward circular bioeconomy and environmentally benign nanomaterials. |
