Sumario:Spraying cellulose nanofibers on the polished stainless-steel plate is a novel approach for the fabrication of free-standing cellulose nanofiber film (CNF). Recently, free-standing cellulose nanofiber film has gained attention as an alternative to synthetic plastic film. Free-standing/self-standing CNF film can be used as a potential barrier, in packaging application, as membranes for waste water application, in fabrication of biomedical film for wound repair and many more such applications in the fabrication of functional materials. To hasten the production of free-standing CNF film, spraying process is a considerable process-intensified method for large-scale production of film in a rapid manner. Spraying CNF on the stainless-steel plate produces the film with unique surfaces, namely a rough surface exposed to air and a smooth surface from the steel surface. The smooth surface of the film is very shiny and glossy and provides a platform for utilizing this smoothness for fabricating the functional materials such as a base substrate for flexible electronics and solar cells, etc. This chapter summarizes the production of free-standing CNF film via spraying and its characterization linked to its application.
