Presently, nanomaterials obtained from the polymeric constituents of biomass are receiving huge appreciations for their significance as bio-polymers due to ease-free synthesis process and less environmental impact. With respect to that, the carbohydrates including cellulose and hemicellulose and lignin of lignocellulosic biomass are exhaustively utilized for the production of various particles in nano-ranges. The present discussion is focused on the recent advancement in the greener routes utilized for the synthesis of several nano-based polymeric constituents of lignocellulosic biomass. Further, an in-depth summarization on the characterization for the ultra-structural morphology of the bionanomaterials is discussed. Moreover, the importance of structural modifications is highlighted to exploit the overall functionalities of the polymeric nanomaterials. Finally, the potential of nano-based biomaterials obtained from cellulose and lignins are described to exhibit their sustainable applications in the sectors like biomedical, environmental and so on so for. Therefore, the present discussion will be highly beneficial to the audiences to gather a cumulative and scientific knowledge on nanobiomaterials of biomass origin for future research works.
