Textiles, cosmetics, and food products are just a few of the commercial uses for nanocellulose. However, it also has strong potential for use in medicine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents the most recent scientific research on nanocellulose as a biopolymer and its potential uses in medicine.
