Nanocellulose and chitosan are both biopolymers with unique properties and advantages, each suited for various applications. Here are some merits of nanocellulose compared to a chitosan matrix:
### 1. **Mechanical Properties**
- **Strength**: Nanocellulose has exceptional mechanical strength, making it suitable for reinforcing materials. Its tensile strength can be higher than that of steel when adjusted at the nanoscale.
-
