In today's world, where achieving carbon neutrality and being microplastic-free is imperative, the pursuit of renewable and sustainable materials has become essential. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs), including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are nanoscaled materials derived from industrial cellulose fibers (such as paper and dissolving pulps), abundant plants, and other cellulose resources. They are typically produced in water, with or without pretreatment, through downsizing or mechanical fibrillation. CNs retain their original crystal structures, which confer high mechanical strengths and thermal stabilities. In addition, they provide abundant reaction sites for further functionalization, enabling the incorporation of unique properties, such as catalytic activities, anti-microbial effects, hydrophobicity, water resistance, and gas-barrier performance, as well as electronic and thermal functionalities. Thus, CNs represent promising bio-nanomaterials that are biocompatible, biodegradable, sustainable, and renewable. They are abundantly produced by plants through biosynthesis, utilizing atmospheric CO2 and water as primary resources. This book provides a comprehensive overview of CNs, covering their history, chemical structures, morphologies, characteristics, and applications. CNs are expected to be used in food and daily necessities as well as medical, luminescent, electronic, and electrical materials. The book serves as a comprehensive resource not only for university students and researchers, but also for companies and their affiliated engineers as well as for anyone interested in advancing research and developing practical applications of CNs.

Toyoko Imae has been a professor emeritus at Nagoya University, Japan, since 2006. She earned her doctorate in science from Nagoya University. After serving as a specific research professor at Keio University, Japan, from 2006 to 2009, she was appointed as an honorary chair professor at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan, where she devoted herself to research and education until 2024.

Akira Isogai has served as a special research professor at the University of Tokyo (UT), Japan, since 2020. He earned his PhD from UT in 1985 and subsequently held positions as assistant and associate professor between 1986 and 1994. From 2003 to 2020, he served as a professor at UT. He was awarded a Doctor of Science in Technology Honoris Causa from Aalto University, Finland, in 2016.

Masaki Ujihara is an associate professor at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. He joined the university in 2009, initially as an assistant professor, and has held his current position since 2014. He earned his PhD from Nagoya University, Japan, in 2006. His research interests encompass materials science and nanotechnology.
