Biological materials and their applications have drawn increasing
attention among scientists. Cellulose is an abundant, renewable,
biodegradable, economical, thermally stable, and light material,
and it has found application in pharmaceuticals, coatings, food,
textiles, laminates, sensors, actuators, flexible electronics, and
flexible displays. Its nano form has extraordinary surface
properties, such as higher surface area than cellulose; hence,
nanocellulose can be used as a substitute for cellulose. Among many
other sustainable, functional nanomaterials, nanocellulose is
attracting growing interest in environmental remediation
technologies because of its many unique properties and
functionalities. Nanocellulose and Its Composites for Water
Treatment Applications supplies insight into the application of
nanocellulose and its nanocomposites for water purification and
remediation. It covers different classes of nanocellulose-cellulose
nanocrystal (CNC), microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), hairy
cellulose nanocrystalloid (HCNC), and bacterial nanocellulose
(BNC)-for their competency with other renewable and carbonaceous
materials such as pectin, alginate, and CNTs. Future perspectives
of nanocellulose and nanocomposites gleaned from different
biodegradable origins are also discussed. This book delves into an
updated description of the basic principles and developments in
synthesis, characterization methods, properties (chemical, thermal,
optical, structural, surface, and mechanical structure), property
relationships, crystallization behavior, and degradability of
biodegradable nanocomposites. The book also supplies vivid
information about various cellulose nanomaterials and their
applications in absorbing organic and inorganic toxins, membrane
filtration of bacteria, viruses, and ionic impurities,
photocatalytic dye removal, and sensing of water toxins. Features
Details the synthesis and characterization methods of nanocellulose
Illustrates the applications of nanocellulose and its
nanocomposites Shows in-depth accounts of the various types of
properties of nanocellulose and its composites Features emerging
trends in the use of nanocellulose as adsorbents, sensors,
membranes, and photocatalysis materials This book will be useful
for academics, researchers, and engineers working in water
treatment and purification.
