A) Insoluble cellulose oligomers self-assembled into ordered nanostructures produced by cellodextrin phosphorylase (CDP)-catalysed synthesis from functionalised acceptors with reactive or non-reactive substituents at the anomeric position. B) Post modification example using thiol-functionalised cellulose oligomers in the presence of silver nanoparticles to produce nanocellulose composite (adapted from Ref. [87]).
