Elastomeric Nanocellulose Composites

Carbon black and silica are currently used as fillers in elastomer-based composites, but the use of these reinforcing agents is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Therefore there is a need to look for more sustainable filler materials for elastomers. Researchers are now focusing their attention on nanocellulose as a sustainable and renewable alternative. However, there are many challenges associated with the develoment of high-performance nanocellulose elastomer composites. Nanocellulose Elastomer Composites provides an in-depth study of recent developments in this fast-evolving research field. This book covers diverse aspects of materials engineering, surface treatments, and fabrication of green nanocomposites. It consolidates recent studies and qualitative findings on the incorporation of a myriad of nanocellulose variants into various types of elastomer matrices with the main goal of enhancing its mechanical integrity and potentially phasing out conventional elastomer fillers. The current market is likewise discussed in detail. This book will provide an in-depth study of current developments of nanocellulose incorporated elastomer composites and their applications. The book will be an essential reference resource for material scientists, academic and industrial researchers, and technologists covering all aspects in the field. Will assist readers in solving fundamental and application-related problems in the development of nanocellulose filled elastomers Discusses characterization techniques used for analyzing elastomer nanocomposites Discusses various attributes of nanocellulose, its composites with different types of elastomeric materials (both natural and synthetic) and its potential for advanced applications The book's contents are comprehensive, and well structured, to maintain consistency and flow to help the reader to read through the chapters easily Covers all important aspects in the field of nanocellulose-elastomer composites INDICE: 1.
