Cellulose Based Hydrogels: Production, Properties and Applications provides detailed information on the properties, characterization techniques, preparation methodologies, applications, and commercial viability of cellulose based hydrogels.The book starts with an in-depth overview of the structure of cellulosic materials and their chemical modification approaches, covering various forms of cellulose, such as nanocrystalline and nanofibrillar cellulose. The following chapters focus on characterization methods of such materials, including advanced techniques, followed by a through discussion of the strategies for preparation of cellulose based hydrogels. Finally, applications of cellulosic structures in different fields such as biomedicine, environmental science, and energy are presented.This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across polymer science, nanomaterials, and materials science, as well as scientists, engineers, and R&D professionals with an interest in sustainable materials and their composites/nanocomposites for advanced applications.- Describes structural features, preparation methods, characterization techniques, properties, and applications of cellulose-based hydrogels- Reviews the biodegradability and biocompatibility of cellulosic hydrogels- Offers critical analysis on current and potential applications of cellulose-based hydrogels, including a discussion on their commercial viability
