Electrical and Optical Properties of Nanocellulose Films and Its Nanocomposites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Polymer Nanocomposites. Processing, Performance and Application

Abstract

Cellulose is one of the most abundant and common natural resources around us. The production of nanoscaled cellulose fibers and their application in composite materials have gradually got increasing attention during the last decades because nanocellulose has many advantages (i.e., high crystallinity, high tensile strength, high melting temperature, 200 times more surface area, finer weblike network, stiffness combined with low weight, and biodegradability). Nanocomposites with cellulosic nanofibers as reinforcing material appeared 15 years ago [1]. Due to these advantages, nanocelluloses were applied in various fields of technologies [2]. Nanocellulose can be classified into four kinds according to production method and material source. Figure 21.1 shows categories of nanocellulose.
