Biorenewable polymers based nanomaterials are rapidly emerging as one of
the most fascinating materials for multifunctional applications. Among
biorenewable polymers, cellulose based nanomaterials are of great
importance due to their inherent advantages such as environmental
friendliness, biodegradability, biocompatibility, easy processing and
cost effectiveness, to name a few. They may be produced from biological
systems such as plants or be chemically synthesised from biological
materials.
This book summarizes the recent remarkable achievements witnessed in
green technology of cellulose based nanomaterials in different fields
ranging from biomedical to automotive. This book also discusses the
extensive research developments for next generation nanocellulose-based
polymer nanocomposites. The book contains seventeen chapters and each
chapter addresses some specific issues related to nanocellulose and also
demonstrates the real potentialities of these nanomaterials in different
domains.
The key features of the book are:
- Synthesis and chemistry of nanocellulose from different biorenewable
resources
- Different characterization of nanocellulosic materials and their
respective polymer nanocomposites
- Physico-chemical, thermal and mechanical investigation of
nanocellulose based polymer nanocomposites
- Provides elementary information and rich understanding of the present
state-of- art of nanocellulose-based materials
- Explores the full range of applications of different
nanocellulose-based materials.
