Methods for Extraction of Nanocellulose from Various Sources

This chapter describes the chemistry and structure of cellulose fibers and the existing extraction methods for various kinds of nanocellulose (NC), such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), amorphous nanocellulose (ANC), and cellulose nanoyarn (CNY). Specific conditions for extraction of NC from various natural sources are discussed in detail. The effects of the extraction methods, pretreatments, and conditions on the structure, morphology, and properties of isolated NC are described.
