Polylactic Acid-Based Nanocellulose and Cellulose Composites e-bog

Polylactic Acid-Based Nanocellulose and Cellulose Composites offers a comprehensive account of the methods for the synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications of these advanced materials. This book fills a gap in the literature as the only currently available book on this topic.This book: Describes the procedures for the extraction of cellulose materials from different sources and characterization methods adopted for analyzing their propertiesCovers properties, processing, and applications of PLA biocomposites made using the extracted celluloseDiscusses the effect of reinforcement of cellulose on the biopolymer matrix and the enhancement of biopolymer propertiesExamines current status, challenges, and future outlook in biocomposite research and applicationsThe book serves as a reference for researchers, scientists, and advanced students in polymer science and engineering and materials science who are interested in cellulose polymer composites and their applications.
