Nanocelluloses (NCs) have remarkable mechanical properties and contain abundant surface functional groups that can be modified or cross-linked with other materials. They have been widely used as an environment-friendly reinforcing agent in polymer composites. However, for applications that are carried out in humid environments or aqueous suspensions, hydrophilicity of NCs lower their mechanical integrity. Hence, cross-linking techniques have been investigated in recent years for preparing NC-based materials that are dimensionally stable under humid or aqueous environments and have better physicochemical properties. This Minireview examines the quickly growing field of cross-linked NC-based materials, which have many benefits including improved aqueous, structural, mechanical, and thermal stability. In addition, the potential application of cross-linked NC-based materials in adsorption of heavy metal is discussed.
