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 meets many requirements of sustainable development. Surface Science and Advanced Functional Applications of Cellulose Composites looks at cellulose composites in relation to surface science and applications. This book provides a comprehensive summary grounded in the surface chemistry and polymer physics of cellulose composites, whilst enabling the reader to understand their development history, status, and commercial challenges (and future potential) using a range of case studies and examples. It also explores the applications of biomedical, antibacterial, water treatment, flexible electronic devices, energy storage, and sensing. It reviews the recent developments, problems, and potential 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.
