Nanocelluloses: A New Family of Nature‐Based Materials

Cellulose fibrils with widths in the nanometer range are nature‐based materials with unique and potentially useful features. Most importantly, these novel nanocelluloses open up the strongly expanding fields of sustainable materials and nanocomposites, as well as medical and life‐science devices, to the natural polymer cellulose. The nanodimensions of the structural elements result in a high surface area and hence the powerful interaction of...
