Biorenewable polymers based nanomaterials are rapidly emergingas one of the most fascinating materials for multifunctionalapplications. Among biorenewable polymers, cellulose basednanomaterials are of great importance due to their inherentadvantages such as environmental friendliness, biodegradability,biocompatibility, easy processing and cost effectiveness, to name afew. They may be produced from biological systems such as plants orbe chemically synthesised from biological materials.
This book summarizes the recent remarkable achievementswitnessed in green technology of cellulose based nanomaterials indifferent fields ranging from biomedical to automotive. Thisbook also discusses the extensive research developments for nextgeneration nanocellulose-based polymer nanocomposites. The bookcontains seventeen chapters and each chapter addresses somespecific issues related to nanocellulose and also demonstrates thereal potentialities of these nanomaterials in differentdomains.
The key features of the book are:
* Synthesis and chemistry of nanocellulose from differentbiorenewable resources
* Different characterization of nanocellulosic materialsand their respective polymer nanocomposites
* Physico-chemical, thermal and mechanical investigation ofnanocellulose based polymer nanocomposites
* Provides elementary information and rich understanding of thepresent state-of- art of nanocellulose-based materials
* Explores the full range of applications of differentnanocellulose-based materials.
