Cellulose Nanoparticles: Volume 1: Chemistry and Fundamentals

Cellulose nanoparticles (CNP) are a class of bio—based nanoscale materials, which are of interest due to their unique structural features and properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and renewability. They are promising candidates for applications including in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, electronics, barrier films, nanocomposites, membranes, and supercapacitors. New resources, extraction procedures and treatments are currently under development to satisfy increasing demands ...
