Reviewer 2 Report

This is a nice review in a very actual field of polymer science. Since cellulose is a natural and biodegradble polymer with many (potential) applications it fits well in the actual discussion of 'plastics' in the environment. The review contains many citations also most recent. The graphics are well prepared and several topics are summarized in Tables. So I highly recommend publication of the review in its current form. A minor point is that the authors should also cite the book by Wadwood, Hamad 'Cellulose Nanocrystals'. In the introdution the authors focus on sulfuric acid. But also other systems are equally impostant as nitric acid/ phosphoric acid.
