      Elastomeric Nanocellulose 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. 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.

      Nanocarbon polymer biocomposites have gained increased attention from both researchers and manufacturers due to the significant improvement in their physico-mechanical, thermal and barrier properties when compared to conventional materials. Their dimensions, biodegradable character, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability are among the main drivers for increasing demand.However, it is difficult to achieve uniform dispersion between the carbon filler and matrix as it easily forms agglomerations. Production of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with high mechanical and thermal properties is also limited, but there has been rapid progress in processing possibilities to produce nanocomposites based on various biodegradable fillers.Advanced Nanocarbon Polymer Biocomposites: Sustainability Towards Zero Biowaste collects all these novel scientific findings in one place. It discusses in detail their physical, chemical, and electrical properties and presents the latest research findings on nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with filler loadings and their improvement on compatibility. The book will be of great interest for those researchers who are concerned with the production and use of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites as a new innovative advanced material.
