Publisher's Synopsis
This work provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview summarising recent achievements, the state of the art, and trends in research into nanocellulose and cellulose nanocomposites. It discusses the characterisation as well as surface modification of cellulose nanocomposites before going into details of the manufacturing and the self-assembly of such compounds. After a description of various alternatives, including thermoplastic, thermosetting, rubber, and fully green cellulose nanocomposites, it continues with their mechanic and thermal properties, as well as crystallisation and rheology behaviour.
