In this study, it is examined how nanocellulose has been used in drug release so far. In the thinning, information is given briefly on controlled drug release and its importance, nanomaterials in controlled release, structure, and production of nanocellulose. Then, examples of the use of nanocellulose in drug release are given. The disadvantage of still having a slightly high production cost has been identified. However, it is understood that it is a very suitable material for drug release due to its abundance in nature, easy availability, and biocompatibility. Therefore, at the end of the study, it is recommended that nanocellulose of different sizes would be very useful for producing nanocellulose in different sizes and its applications in drug release and nanocellulose with other functional groups for drug release. In this respect, it is predicted that studies on nanocellulose as a natural product in terms of drug release will accelerate.
