Description
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 because of their inherent advantages such as environmental friendliness, biodegradability, biocompatibility, easy and inexpensive processing. They may be produced from biological systems such as plants or be chemically synthesized from biological materials.
This book details the recent remarkable achievements witnessed in green technology of cellulose- based nanomaterials in various fields ranging from biomedical to automotive. It also discusses extensive next generation research developments in nanocellulose-based polymer nanocomposites.
The 17 chapters from world-renowned experts address specific issues relating to nanocellulose and demonstrate the real potentialities of these nanomaterials in the different domains. Nanocellulose Polymer Nanocomposites includes topics such as:
• Bacterial cellulose-based nanocomposites
• Polyurethanes reinforced with cellulose
• Nanocellulose-reinforced polymer matrix composites
• Multifunctional ternary polymeric nanocomposites
• Polypropylene nanobiocomposites
• Cellusose-based liquid crystalline composite systems
• Electrospinning of cellulose
• Kenaf cellulose whiskers
• Cellulose nanocrystals for industrial applications
• Medical applications of cellulose
