【 摘 要 】

Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) have been successfully applied to a variety of scientific areas in recent years withremarkable engineering utilities. As sustainable materials of huge abundance, CNs show significant potentials in fine-tunethe microstructures and kinetics from the nano-level. This paper reviews recent key advancements of the use of CNs in thefields of pharmaceutical science and pharmacology. A broad overview of the development of CNs is provided, and the currentmethods to obtain the materials are discussed. The different types of processing techniques are reviewed, that are critical tothe applications in pharmaceutical science and pharmacology. The key breakthroughs of applications in major fields are discussed,including oral administration, topical administration, tissue scaffolds, and antibacterial applications.
