Opis

This book provides an overview of the advances on nanostructured celullose from different obtaining forms: natural plants and bacterial microorganisms. It gives the reader an introduction of cellulose focusing in nanosize particles, its potential applications and future perspectives.

Recenzje

"This is a very important, valuable and concise contribution that ought to be read by all researchers and engineers, new to the field or veterans, who seek a broad understanding of the cellulose focusing on the nanosize world." (Bogdan Marian Tofanica, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, Vol. 53 (3 - 4), 2019)
