Nanocellulose from fundamentals to advanced materials

 Comprehensively introduces
readers to the production, modifications, and applications of nanocellulose

This book gives a thorough introduction to the structure, properties,
surface modification, theory, mechanism of composites, and functional materials
derived from nanocellulose. It also provides in-depth descriptions of plastics,
composites, and functional nanomaterials specifically derived from cellulose
nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, and bacterial cellulose. It includes the
most recent progress in developing a conceptual framework of nanocellulose, as
well as its numerous applications in the design and manufacture of
nanocomposites and functional nanomaterials. The book also looks at the
relationship between structure and properties.

Featuring contributions from many noted experts in the field,
Nanocellulose: From Fundamentals to Advanced Materials examines the current
status of nanocomposites based on nanocelluloses. It covers surface
modification of nanocellulose in the nanocomposites development; reinforcing
mechanism of cellulose nanocrystals in nanocomposites; and advanced materials
based on self-organization of cellulose nanocrystals. The book studies the role
of cellulose nanofibrils in nanocomposites, as well as a potential application
based on colloidal properties of cellulose nanocrystals. It also offers
strategies to explore biomedical applications of nanocellulose.
