LIGNINOCELLULOSIC NANOMATERIAL AS ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN ALTERNATE TO TRADITIONAL NANOMATERIALS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS: A PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
Recent surge in the number of studies on inorganic nanoparticles has raised concerns over possible commercial implication of the same. The developmental stage of regulations and standards controlling the same amplifies this problem. In this perspective, we tried to analyze the current trends on lignocellulose nanomaterials (viz. Nanocellulose and lignin) and its global potential to offer an environmentally benign alternate. We used number of studies indexed in Scopus database to get an idea of trends. An additional inquiry with keywords Nanoparticles, Nanocellulose, tissue engineering, implants and drug delivery was used to refine the data and see a clear picture. We observed clear increase in number of studies in biomedical fields using nanocellulose and lignin nanoparticles, which bodes well for the future of lignocellulose nanomaterial an alternate to inorganic nanomaterials. This piece of opinion tries to critically visualize the status of two most occurring forms of carbon (cellulose and lignin) in a very specific field of high value utilization (biomedical applications) and tried to present authorпїЅs view on their present commercial acceptability.
