Abstract

Nanocellulose is the nanostructured product or extract from the native cellulose found in plants, animals, and bacteria. Three main types of nanocellulose may be identified as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). Due to the very high surface-to-volume ratio, nanocellulose tends to form hydrogels with exceptionally high water content (>90 wt%). Surface modifications of those nanostructured materials can, e.g., improve their compatibility with different matrices, enable control of water absorption, and release and bring desired chemical functionality expanding utilization of such hydrogel in (bio)nanotechnology-related applications. Various objects including small molecules of biomedical relevance, nano- or microparticles serving as drug carriers, protective/semipermeable coatings, or polymer brushes can be attached onto the surfaces of nanocellulose-based materials in order to prepare various functional nanocomposites. Such composite materials have been successfully applied in, e.g., wound healing and regenerative medicine. Chemical approaches for surface functionalization of nanocellulose-based hydrogels are systematically described in this chapter, together with properties of such formed hydrogel materials and examples of their applications.
