The unique nanoscale properties of renewable biomaterials presentvaluable opportunities in the field of nanoscience and technology.Lignocellulosic biomass is an important industrial resource whichcan be used for the production of highly efficient andenvironmentally sustainable nanomaterials.
The Nanoscience and Technology of Renewable Biomaterials presents the latest advances in biomass nanotechnology, includingleading research from academia and industry, as well as a futurevision for the nanotechnology of forest products.
Topics covered include:
A fundamental review of the relationship betweennanotechnology and lignocellulosic biomass
Characterization methods for biomass on the nanometerscale
Cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin as nanoscopicbiomaterials-physical features, chemical properties and potentialnanoproducts
Nanoscale surface engineering
Renewable materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering
Nanoscopically-controlled drug delivery
This book will be a valuable resource for chemists, chemicalengineers, bioscience researchers and materials scientists who areinterested in harnessing the nanotechnological features ofrenewable biomaterials.
