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 covers mechanical, thermal, optical, and barrier properties, and discusses various characterization techniques. This book is part of a three-volume set that consolidates current knowledge, spanning processing, properties, and applications. Each volume focuses on a different aspect of nanocellulose research, offering comprehensive insights and methodologies. This volume serves as an essential reference for understanding structure-property relationships and the impact of processing on final properties.
Researchers will gain valuable knowledge for tailoring nanocellulose-based composites by fine-tuning their properties through manipulation of parameters and processing conditions.
