In this paper, we review the recent applications of optical tweezer (OT) in studying the microrheology of variety of polymeric solution. Our aim is to expose optical tweezer research to the public and newcomer. This paper highlights and summarizes the advantages of optical tweezer as compared with the conventional method, introduces the benefit of nanocellulose and also presents an overview of the potential in the measurement of nanocellulose solution’s viscoelasticity by using optical trapping method.
