Cellulose and cellulose acetate/Fe₂TiO₅ nanocomposites have been synthesized successfully. Nanocomposites indicate a ferromagnetic paramagnetic behavior, as evidenced by using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) respectively, to characterize,diagnosis, morphology and particle size, and to  measure the thermal properties of samples. STA investigations reveal that the thermal stability of the cellulose and cellulose acetate is significantly enhanced with the addition of nano fillers. The results indicated that Fe₂TiO₅nanopowders were distributed in cellulose and cellulose acetate matrix with particle size between 25 and 75 nm.
