Surface Science and Advanced Functional Applications of Cellulose Composites

As one of the most extensive biomass resources on earth, cellulose material has the characteristics of extensive availability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. The development of cellulose composites has the potential to meet many requirements of sustainable development. This book looks at cellulose composites in relation to surface science and applications. It provides a comprehensive summary grounded in the surface chemistry and polymer physics of cellulose composites, while enabling the reader to understand their development history, status, commercial challenges using a range of case studies and examples. This book also explores their application in biomedical, antibacterial, water treatment, flexible electronic devices, energy storage, and sensing, reviewing the recent developments, problems, and potential future developmental directions of cellulose composites. Surface Science and Advanced Functional Applications of Cellulose Composites will appeal to chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists engaged in biomass, cellulose, nanocellulose, composites, surface science, and related applied biomedical, antibacterial, water treatment, flexible electronic device, and energy storage fields.
