Nanocellulose, derived from renewable sources such as wood pulp, has gained significant attention in recent years due to its exceptional mechanical properties, low density, and biodegradability. Incorporating nanocellulose into composite materials holds great promise for enhancing the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of traditional engineering materials. The unique characteristics of nanocellulose, including high aspect ratio and surface area, make it an ideal candidate for reinforcing polymers, metals, and ceramics in composite structures. Understanding the interactions at the nanoscale and optimizing the processing techniques are essential for harnessing the full potential of nanocellulose in engineering applications.
This Research Topic will bring together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to showcase the latest advancements in nanocellulose reinforced biocomposites for different engineering applications. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, this collection of articles aims to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable materials, contributing to a greener and more eco-conscious future for different industries.
