Nanocellulose-Based Hybrid Systems for Tissue Engineering

380 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nanocellulose is a versatile material which is now finding applications in biomaterials science, and as a sustainable resource it is particularly attractive to the industrial and research communities. Drawing on a global authorship, this book explains how the antimicrobial and immunological properties of nanocellulose make it an ideal material for applications in tissue engineering, whether in hydrogels, scaffolds, or polymer composites. Readers will discover how to extract and characterise nanocellulose and fabricate it in a wide variety of tissue engineering scenarios. Opportunities for 3D printing are considered among a wealth of approaches. With regulatory frameworks in mind, toxicological evaluations and life-cycle assessment of materials are discussed, ensuring that this is a comprehensive source of information for anyone seeking a more sustainable approach to tissue engineering and biomaterials.
