The book will deal with new
nanostructured composites, where both the reinforcement and the matrix are bio based. Cellulose combined with natural polymers led to the development of a new class of biodegradable and environmental friendly
bionanocomposites. This new family of nanocomposites isexpected to have remarkable improvement of material properties when compared with the matrix polymers or conventional micro- and
macro-composite materials. Such improvements in properties typically include a higher modulus and strength, improved barrier properties, increased heat distortiontemperature. This new class of renewable nanocomposites is expected to capture new market in transportation, medical…
