Abstract: Cellulose is one of the most abundant polymers in nature. Researchers are keen to find different ways to develop more practical applications of cellulose. An important form of cellulose is Nanofribrillar cellulose, which has already been investigated for barrier properties. This study is about the preparation of transparent NFC-OTi composite films, through the reaction of nanocellulose and metal alkoxides. These transparent films could be used as barrier materials for moisture and oxygen. Moreover, the transparent and barrier property of NFCOTi films make it suitable for many applications such as food packaging.
