Produktbeschreibung

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.
