Cellulose nanofibrils are one of the keystone materials for sustainable future, yet their poor water repellency hinders their push into industrial applications. Due to complexity and poor economical outcome and/or processing toxicity of the existing hydrophobization methods, nanocellulose loses against its antagonist plastic in medical and food industries. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the "one-side selective water-repellency activation" in nanocellulose membranes by the means of mild N
