The field of cellulose chemistry has experienced significant advancements in recent years, driven by the urgent need for sustainable solutions. Biodegradable cellulose derivatives, particularly esters and ethers, have gained widespread use due to their eco-friendly properties. These developments encompass a range of innovative techniques, such as unconventional synthesis methods, the introduction of novel solvents like ionic liquids, novel approaches to regioselective derivatization of cellulose, the preparation of nano-particles and nano-composites for specific applications, and comprehensive discussions of these new developments. This book is specifically designed for researchers and professionals engaged in the study of cellulose and its derivatives. It fills a crucial gap in teaching, as most organic chemistry textbooks primarily focus on the relatively simple chemistry of mono- and disaccharides. The chemistry and applications of cellulose, however, are concisely mentioned, highlighting the need for more comprehensive coverage in this field. By providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in cellulose chemistry, this book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to explore the potential of this versatile material in various industries.
