Surface Science and Advanced Functional Applications of Cellulose Composites, Volume 38 looks at cellulose composites in relation to surface science and applications. The book provides a comprehensive summary grounded in the surface chemistry and polymer physics of cellulose composites while also enabling readers to understand their history, status, and commercial challenges, and future potential using a range of case studies and examples. Other sections explore the applications of biomedical, antibacterial, water treatment, flexible electronic devices, energy storage, and sensing and review recent developments, problems, and potential developmental directions of cellulose composites.This book 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.- Provides a comprehensive summary grounded in the surface chemistry and polymer physics of cellulose composites- Covers the development, history, status, and commercial challenges- Explores applications in biomedical, antibacterial, water treatment, flexible electronic devices, energy storage, and sensing- Utilizes a range of case studies and useful examples- Includes a forward-looking emphasis on the sustainability of cellulose derived materials
