JMS_V5_N1_RevP2 M.K. Pradhan Mohit Jain Journal on Material Science 2347–615X 5 1 31 42 Nano-cellulose, CNW, Hand Layup Method, Steam Explosion, FESEM, FT-IR, Bragg Angle, Rubber This paper presents a detailed study of Nano-cellulosic rubber composite fabrication and the results of property analysis done by several authors. The key parameters, such as surface modification of Natural Fibre (NF), size and orientation of cellulose, curing time and temperature, fabrication method, etc., that significantly influences the properties and interfacial characteristics have been studied. Surface treatment processes by NaOH, NaClO , H O , etc., followed by the 2 2 2 extraction of Nano Cellulose Crystal (CNC) or Cellulose Nano Whiskers (CNW) from fibre by strong acids are explained. However, the other method for CNC extraction is Steam Explosion. Further microstructure studies by FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), SEM (5 Scanning Electron Microscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), and XRD (X-ray Powder Diffraction), thermal characteristic by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and mechanical properties like tensile, impact strength, etc., are explained as described by several authors. The micro structure of the composite shows how fibre breaks at amorphous region, and crystalline part is increased after surface preparation; also how strength and other mechanical properties are enhanced.
