Application of Nanocomposites Based on Nanocellulose

The development and the application of polymeric composite materials filled with nanosized rigid particles (essentially inorganic) has attracted both scientific and industrial interest. The development of new polymer electrolytes is needed for many kinds of electrochemical applications such as separators in high-energy density lithium batteries. Poly(oxyethylene) (POE)-based polymer electrolytes are the most commonly studied, due to their cationic solvation ability [188]. 

Reinforcement using nanofiber is nowadays dispersed in many fields not only in hard composite but in thin film too. Consequently, its application could cover pretty much in

This chapter has focused on the isolation techniques and fundamental properties of nanocellulose that have been developed so far, and ultimately the application of this nanocellulose in composites. Natural fibers are commonly used to produce nanocelluloses which contain both crystalline and amorphous regions at varying proportions depending on the species. Thus, the characteristics of nanocellulosic materials depend
