The eco-friendly connotations, peculiar features, and multiple functionalities of these nanoscale cellulosic substrates are being explored to engineer advanced nanocomposites and nanohybrid materials for application in manifold domains, such as mechanics, optics, electronics, energy, environment, biology, and medicine.The aim of this Special Issue titled "Advanced Nanocellulose-Based Materials: Production, Properties, and Applications" is to gather original research and review contributions from the world-leading scientists working with nanocellulose. Thus, research that is representative of the current developments dealing with the production methodologies, properties, and applications of nanocellulose-based materials (e.g., nanocomposites, hybrids, aerogels, hydrogels, films, and fibers) are presented in the Special Issue.Advanced Nanocellulose-Based MaterialsTechnology: general issuesbicssc5-fluorouracilalginatebacterial nanocellulosebiobased separatorsbionanocompositescell adhesioncellular exometabolomicscellular uptakecellulosecellulose nanocompositecellulose nanocrystalscellulose nanofibrilcellulose nanofibrilscellulose nanomaterialschitosanchitosan nanoparticlescolorectal cancercytotoxicity assaydexpanthenoldissolving pulpfluorescein isothiocyanatefolate receptor-positive cancer cellsfolic acidhigh strengthice-templatingin vitro drug releaseinterfaceion-exchange membranesionic conductivitylayer-by-layer assemblyligninlignosulfonateslyophilizationmechanical performancemechanical propertiesmulti-layered patchesn/anano silicon dioxidenanoscale resolutionnanosystemsorientationoxidized bacterial cellulosephysical adsorptionplasma modificationTEMPO-oxidationthermal-oxidative stabilitywoodwound healingTechnology: general issuesVilela Carlaedt1060128Freire CarmenedtVilela CarlaothFreire CarmenothBOOK9910557618003321Advanced Nanocellulose-Based Materials: Production, Properties and Applications3016570UNINA04820nam 2200685Ia 450 991102037820332120200520144314.09786613407931978128340793912834079309781444392272144439227197814443922961444392298(CKB)3400000000000369(EBL)675221(OCoLC)742333214(SSID)ssj0000482415(PQKBManifestationID)11269899(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000482415(PQKBWorkID)10525759(PQKB)11116583(MiAaPQ)EBC675221(Perlego)2786489(EXLCZ)99340000000000036920100921d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrTropical rain forests an ecological and biogeographical comparison /Richard T.

In reality, the major tropical rain forest regions, in tropical America, Africa, Southeast Asia, Madagascar, and New Guinea, have as many differences as similarities, as a result of their isolation from each other during the evolution of their floras and faunas. This new edition reinforces this message with new examples from recent and on-going research.
