Among biorenewable polymers, cellulose based nanomaterials are of great importance due to their inherent advantages such as environmental friendliness, biodegradability, biocompatibility, easy processing and cost effectiveness, to name a few. They may be produced from biological systems such as plants or be chemically synthesised from biological materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book summarizes the recent remarkable achievements witnessed in green technology of cellulose based nanomaterials in different fields ranging from biomedical to automotive. This book also discusses the extensive research developments for next generation nanocellulose-based polymer nanocomposites. The book contains seventeen chapters and each chapter addresses some specific issues related to nanocellulose and also demonstrates the real potentialities of these nanomaterials in different domains.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe key features of the book are:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSynthesis and chemistry of nanocellulose from different biorenewable resources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDifferent  characterization of nanocellulosic materials and their respective polymer nanocomposites\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhysico-chemical, thermal and mechanical investigation of nanocellulose based polymer nanocomposites\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides elementary information and rich understanding of the present state-of- art of nanocellulose-based materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the full range of applications of different nanocellulose-based materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVijay Kumar Thakur\u003c\/b\u003e (Ph.D.) is a \u003cb\u003eStaff Scientist\u003c\/b\u003e in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineeringat Washington State University -U.S.A.
