Nanomanifestations of Cellulose: Applications for Biodegradable Composites

摘要: High-strength and high-stiffness nanocelluloses are extracted from native cellulose which is an abundant sustainable material. Cellulose can come with different manifestations in terms of morphologies microstructure. The variation morphology at the nanoscale comes way material processed or extracted. We discuss four types nanocellulose manifestations, namely, nanocrystalline cellulose, electrospun microfibrillated bacterial cellulose. low density biodegradable nature these make them very desirable Nanocomposites prepared great interest, owing to many end-use applications. If they be used hydrophobic polymers ensure a good level dispersion, chemical surface modification necessary. In addition interfacial characteristics, also dictate processing method nanocomposites. this chapter, we put particular emphasis on two important applications nanocellulose-reinforced polymers: packaging tissue engineering.
