Cellulose is an abundant, naturally occurring and bio-degradable material that has been examined as a possible replacement for conventional materials such as plastics which are known to be toxic to the environment. Cellulose nanomaterials, which can be produced directly from cellulose, offer unique properties and structures that have proven useful for a myriad of applications globally. Currently, cellulose nanomaterials have found widespread use in numerous fields including the biomedical, pharmaceutical, packaging, and the food technology industries. Thus, this chapter reports on the properties of cellulose nanomaterials and cellulose nanocomposites and their use in various fields or industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
