Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have seen an exponential outburst in the biomedical field, allowing a breakthrough in both therapeutic approaches and in the development of new devices. Among the many nanoscale materials, cellulose nanocrystals have unique characteristics and have already shown very promising properties in the biomedical field. In addition, CNCs are biocompatible, biodegradable, and available on a large scale, unlike many other materials proposed for analogue applications. For this reason, we would like to propose a Special Issue centered on the topic “Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as versatile material for the biomedical field.”
100% discount of Article Processing Charge will apply to the submissions accepted for publication in this Special Issue.
