      abstract = {This Handbook covers the fundamental aspects, experimental  setup, synthesis, properties, and characterization of  different nanocelluloses. It also explores the technology  challenges of nanocelluloses and the emerging applications  and the global markets of nanocelluloses-based systems. In  particular, this book: Covers the history of  nanocelluloses, types and classifications, fabrication  techniques, critical processing parameters, physical and  chemical properties, surface functionalization, and other  treatments to allow practical applications. Covers all  recent aspects of nanocelluloses technologies, from  experimental set-up to industrial applications. Includes  new physical, chemical and biological techniques for  nanocelluloses fabrication, in-depth treatment of their  surface functionalization, and characterization. Discusses  the unique properties of nanocelluloses that can be  obtained by modifying their diameter, morphology,  composition and dispersion in other materials. Discusses  the properties and morphology of several kinds of  dispersion in polymeric materials, such as  micro/nanofiberlated cellulose, cellulose nanofibers,  cellulose nanocrystals, amorphous cellulose nanoparticles,  and hybrid cellulose nanomaterials. Presents the different  techniques for dispersion, and self-assembly of polymeric  materials, critical parameters of synthesis, modelling and  simulation, and characterization methods. Highlights a wide  range of emerging applications of nanocelluloses, e.g. drug  delivery, tissue engineering, medical implants, medical  diagnostics and therapy, biosensors, catalysis, energy  harvesting, energy storage, water/waste treatment,  papermaking, textiles, construction industry, automotive,  aerospace and many more. Provides an outlook on the  opportunities and challenges for the fabrication and  manufacturing of nanocelluloses in industry. Provides an  in-depth look at the nature of nanocelluloses in terms of  their applicability for industrial uses. Provides in-depth  insight and review on most recent types of  nanocelluloses-based systems of unique structures and  compositions. Highlights the challenges and  interdisciplinary perspective of nanocelluloses-based  systems in science, biology, engineering, medicine, and  technology, incorporating both fundamentals and  applications. - Demonstrates how cutting-edge developments  in nanofibers translate into real-world innovations in a  range of industry sectors. This Handbook is a valuable  reference for materials scientists, biologists, physicians,  chemical, biomedical, manufacturing and mechanical  engineers working in R&D industry and academia, who want to  learn more about how nanocelluloses-based systems are  commercially applied.},
