18.1 Introduction
Cellulose nanomaterials have aroused interest of the scientific community for their biodegradability, low density, large surface area, high stiffness and strength, and optical and rheological properties of their dispersions by virtue of their highly hierarchical structures ordered by hydrogen bonding. Cellulose is comprised of natural amphiphilic cellulose polymer and it has been launched as a green nanomaterial since its main source ...
