Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) has garnered substantial scientific interest, thanks to broad spectrum of possible chemical reactions offered by the aldehyde moieties in its backbone. In the present review, we have recapitulated the state-of-the-art knowledge on the synthesis and physicochemical properties of DAC. The review also encompasses DAC derivatives obtained by blending, grafting and crosslinking with molecules and/or polymers that has been engineered into diverse architectures (e.g. conjugates, nanoparticles, microspheres, hydrogels etc.). The prospects of the resulting DAC products in biomedical sectors such as wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering etc. is discussed eloquently. Besides focusing on the pharmaceutical applications of DAC; this review also aims to provide an overview on the recent advances of DAC as a functional material in environmental and energy sectors. Integrating the academic and technological knowledge of DAC can further pave the path towards the development of novel DAC-based functional materials in a scalable and sustainable way.
