Processing, Characterization and Application of Micro and Nanocellulose Based Environmentally Friendly Polymer Composites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites

Abstract

Biodegradable polymers with micro and nano-cellulose present attractive properties and the highly reactive surface of cellulose resulting from the high density of hydroxyl groups are great at this scale. Therefore, this chapter has the objective to discuss cellulosic nanostructured films, types of processing involving the production of bionanocomposites and other important applications of them in non-biocomposite areas. A brief description of the definition, terminology, and methods of obtaining cellulose nanostructures as procedures used in the functionalization of the cellulose surface to improve the hydrophilic character and the compatibility with polymer matrices will be presented.
