Research and
Markets, the leading source for international market research and market
data, has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "The
Nanoscience and Technology of Renewable Biomaterials" to their offering.
The unique nanoscale properties of renewable biomaterials present valuable
opportunities in the field of nanoscience and technology. Lignocellulosic biomass
is an important industrial resource which can be used for the production of
highly efficient and environmentally sustainable nanomaterials.
The Nanoscience and Technology of Renewable Biomaterials presents the latest
advances in biomass nanotechnology, including leading research from academia
and industry, as well as a future vision for the nanotechnology of forest products.
Topics covered include:
- A fundamental review of the relationship between nanotechnology and lignocellulosic
biomass
- Characterization methods for biomass on the nanometer scale
- Cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin as nanoscopic biomaterials-physical
features, chemical properties and potential nanoproducts
- Nanoscale surface engineering
- Renewable materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering
- Nanoscopically-controlled drug delivery
This book will be a valuable resource for chemists, chemical engineers, bioscience
researchers and materials scientists who are interested in harnessing the nanotechnological
features of renewable biomaterials
