Cellulose - Special Issue: Nanocellulose - Characterization, Production and Use
Guest Editors:María Evangelina Vallejos, Marc Delgado-Aguilar and Luiz Pereira Ramos |
Editorial
In the last century, many efforts have been paid to the development of environmentally friendly materials. Among these, nanocellulose and its derivatives deserve special mention due to their outstanding chemical, physical and mechanical properties.
This virtual issue presents research on nanocellulose related to the Workshop entitled "Advances in the production and application of nanocellulose”, which was held during the “2nd International Workshop on Biorefinery of Lignocellulosic Materials” (WBLCM 2019) in Córdoba, Spain (June 4-7th, 2019).
