Surface Modifications of Nanocellulose : Strategies, Methods and Applications

Surface Modifications of Nanocellulose: Strategies, Methods, and Applications establishes the basic framework of nanocellulose. This book systemically summarizes the strategy and protocols of surface modifications on nanocellulose and comprehensively analyzes the relationship between surface modifications and their functional applications. It provides a one-stop reference for researchers engaged in biopolymer research with a commitment to the development of highly-valued functional polymers, nanomaterials, and green chemistry.

• Systemically summarizes the strategy and protocols of surface modifications on nanocellulose
• Includes a database for the modified species as a reference book for surface modification on nanocellulose
• Illustrates the relationship between modification and applications of nanocellulose
• Provides inspiration for the development of potential functional modification in this field
