More About This Title The Nanoscience and Technology of RenewableBiomaterials
English
The Nanoscience and Technology of Renewable Biomaterials presents the latest advances in biomass nanotechnology, including leading research from academia and industry, as well as a future vision for the nanotechnology of forest products.
Topics covered include:
- A fundamental review of the relationship between nanotechnology and lignocellulosic biomass
- Characterization methods for biomass on the nanometer scale
- Cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin as nanoscopic biomaterials-physical features, chemical properties and potential nanoproducts
- Nanoscale surface engineering
- Renewable materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering
- Nanoscopically-controlled drug delivery
This book will be a valuable resource for chemists, chemical engineers, bioscience researchers and materials scientists who are interested in harnessing the nanotechnological features of renewable biomaterials.
