Description

Nanometre scale cellulose fibres, or nanocellulose, are emerging materials for various advanced applications. Nanocellulose and Sustainability: Production, Properties, Applications, and Case Studies provides a comprehensive overview of nanocellulose production, nanocellulose properties and nanocellulose in selected applications. This book serves as an entry level reference text for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and professional engineers working in the area of nanocellulose and sustainability.

Features:

  • Summarises the surface and bulk properties of various types of nanocellulose
  • Reviews the application of nanocellulose in water purification and optically transparent materials
  • Provides an overview of nanocellulose as Pickering emulsifier, binder for loose natural fibres to produce non-woven preforms, as well as nanocellulose-based aerogels
  • Presents a techno-economic analysis of industrial bacterial cellulose production
  • Discusses the pilot scale production of cellulose nanocrystals
