Properties and Characterization of Nanocellulose and Nanocellulose-Based Composites

Properties and Characterization of Nanocellulose and Nanocellulose-Based Composites delves into the intrinsic properties of nanocellulose and the resulting characteristics of nanocellulose-based composites. It comprehensively covers the mechanical, thermal, optical, and barrier properties of nanocellulose materials and discusses various techniques for their characterization.

The book is one of a three-volume set of titles that provides comprehensive information on the emerging field of nanocellulose and its application in composite materials. They consolidate current knowledge, spanning the entire spectrum from processing, properties, and characterization, right through to modern applications. Each volume is dedicated to a distinct aspect of nanocellulose research, offering in-depth insights, methodologies, and case studies.

This volume will be an essential reference resource whereby, the reader will gain a thorough understanding of the structure-property relationships and the impact of processing on these final properties. The book will aid researchers in tailoring nanocellulose-based composites for specific applications by fine-tuning their properties through manipulation of parameters and processing conditions.
