Bottom-Up Construction of Synthetic Nanocelluloses

Synthetic nanocelluloses, which are crystalline assemblies of cello-oligosaccharides and their derivatives with terminal functional groups, can be bottom-up constructed by the enzymatic synthesis of cello-oligosaccharides and the in situ self-assembly in the reaction media. They exhibit unique functions and physicochemical properties, showing great promise as novel polymeric materials in various fields.
