Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are three nanometric forms of the most abundant natural polymer (viz. cellulose), and are currently under the spotlight in numerous fields of modern science and technology. The eco-friendly connotations, peculiar features, and multiple functionalities of these nanoscale cellulosic substrates are being explored to engineer advanced nanocomposites and nanohybrid materials for application in manifold domains, such as mechanics, optics, electronics, energy, environment, biology, and medicine.The aim of this Special Issue titled “Advanced Nanocellulose-Based Materials: Production, Properties, and Applications” is to gather original research and review contributions from the world-leading scientists working with nanocellulose. Thus, research that is representative of the current developments dealing with the production methodologies, properties, and applications of nanocellulose-based materials (e.g., nanocomposites, hybrids, aerogels, hydrogels, films, and fibers) are presented in the Special Issue.

Technology: general issues --- bacterial nanocellulose --- lignosulfonates --- mechanical performance --- thermal-oxidative stability --- ion-exchange membranes --- biobased separators --- ionic conductivity --- oxidized bacterial cellulose --- chitosan --- alginate --- layer-by-layer assembly --- multi-layered patches --- dexpanthenol --- wound healing --- cellulose nanocomposite --- ice-templating --- interface --- orientation --- mechanical properties --- cellulose nanofibrils --- wood --- lignin --- TEMPO-oxidation --- cellulose nanomaterials --- nanoscale resolution --- cellulose --- chitosan nanoparticles --- bionanocomposites --- 5-fluorouracil --- in vitro drug release --- cytotoxicity assay --- colorectal cancer --- lyophilization --- plasma modification --- cell adhesion --- cellulose nanocrystals --- folic acid --- fluorescein isothiocyanate --- nanosystems --- physical adsorption --- cellular uptake --- cellular exometabolomics --- folate receptor-positive cancer cells --- dissolving pulp --- cellulose nanofibril --- nano silicon dioxide --- high strength --- n/a

This book is dedicated to the use of nanomaterials for the modification of asphalt binders, and to investigate whether or not the use of nanomaterials for asphalt mixtures fabrication achieves more effective asphalt pavement layers. A total of 10 contributions are included. Four are related to “Binder’s modification” and five to “Asphalt mixtures’ modification”. The remaining contribution is a review of the effects of the modifications on nanomaterials, particularly nanosilica, nanoclays and nanoiron, on the performance of asphalt mixtures. The published group of papers fosters awareness about the use of nanomaterials to modify asphalt mixtures to obtain more performant and durable flexible road pavements.
