ABSTRACT

Cellulose-based biomaterials have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and renewability. This review provides an overview of various fabrication techniques, including electrospinning and high-shear homogenization, used to produce cellulose-based biomaterials. The applications of these biomaterials in sustainable agriculture, including controlled release of agrochemicals, soil remediation, and water purification, were discussed. The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has led to a growing interest in developing eco-friendly agrochemical delivery systems. This review focuses on the fabrication and application of cellulose-based biomaterials for sustainable agrochemical remediation. Cellulose, a renewable and biodegradable biopolymer, has been extensively explored for its potential in agricultural applications. Various fabrication techniques, including electrospinning, solvent casting, and nanoprecipitation, have been employed to develop cellulose-based biomaterials such as hydrogels, films, and nanoparticles. These biomaterials have demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and controlled release properties, making them suitable for agrochemical delivery. The review highlighted. The effects of cellulose modification, agrochemical loading, and environmental factors on the release kinetics were also examined. Furthermore, the potential benefits and challenges of using cellulose-based biomaterials in agriculture were highlighted. Additionally, the challenges and future prospects of cellulose-based biomaterials in environmental remediation and agricultural sustainability were highlighted.
