The quest for sustainable materials has led to increased interest in biomass-derived alternatives to petroleum-based films. Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and lignin, abundant natural polymers, are promising candidates. This study highlights the development of crosslinked CNF-lignin composite films, focusing on their significance and potential applications. CNF provides biodegradability, high crystallinity, and mechanical strength, while lignin offers UV-blocking, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. These films are particularly noteworthy for potential applications in biodegradable packaging, wound dressings, battery separators, and cosmetics. The development of these biobased composite films represents a significant step towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Leveraging the inherent properties of CNF and lignin, these composite films could reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize environmental impact.
