Nanocellulose Materials: Fabrication and Industrial Applications

Nanocellulose Materials: Fabrication and Industrial Applications focuses on the practices, distribution and applications of cellulose at the nanoscale. The book delivers recent advancements, highlights new perspectives and generic approaches on the rational use of nanocellulose, and includes sustainability advantages over conventional sources towards green and sustainable industrial developments. The topics and sub-topics are framed to cover all key features of cellulose, from extraction to technological evolution. Nanocellulose has great potential due to its versatility and numerous applications, including the potential role of nanocellulose scaffold derivatives towards active involvement in the energy sector, chemical sensing, catalysis, food industry and anti-bacterial coatings towards land, agricultural and aquatic systems. Explores the whole spectrum of industrial scale fabrications and the utilization of nanocellulose as a sustainable material or as part of a sustainability agenda Discusses the environmental, legal, health and safety issues of nanocellulose Assesses the major challenges and opportunities for using nanocellulose at an industrial scale INDICE: Bacterial cellulose nanofibers for separation, drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering applications Industrial-scale fabrication and functionalization of nanocellulose Nanocellulose in packaging industry Nanocellulose hybrid systems: carriers of active compounds and aerogel/ cryogel applications Recent developments of bacterial nanocellulose porous scaffolds in biomedical applications Characteristic features and functions of nanocellulose for its feasible application in textile industry Nanocellulose in plastic industry Nanocellulose in the sports industry Uses of nanocellulose in the environment industry Application of nanocellulose as nanotechnology in water purification Cellulose-imidazole engineering hybrid materials/membrane for energy storage Nanocellulose in electronics and electrical industry Nanocellulose in paper and wood industry Environmental, legal, health, and safety issue of nanocellulose Integration of geospatial technology for mapping of algae: an economical perspective for assessing nanocellulose
