Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue ‘Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Advances in Cellulose-Based Materials’. From a sustainable viewpoint, biobased and biodegradable cellulose-based materials are of great interest and importance in both academia and industrial fields. So far, both fundamental research and practical applications of cellulose-based materials have recently made great progress. It is necessary to report the recent progress in Macromol as a Special Issue. The topics include, but are not limited to, the preparation, modification, characterization, physical properties, and practical application of cellulose-based materials. We hope that this Special Issue will provide a unique platform for introducing the recent progress in this interesting and important field.
