Aims and Scope
The Springer Series in Biomaterials Science and Engineering addresses the
manufacture, structure and properties, and applications of materials that are in
contact with biological systems, temporarily or permanently. It deals with many
aspects of modern biomaterials, from basic science to clinical applications, as well
ashostresponses.Itcoversthewholespectrumofbiomaterials—polymers,metals,
glasses and ceramics, and composites/hybrids—and includes both biological
materials (collagen, polysaccharides, biological apatites, etc.) and synthetic
materials. The materials can be in different forms: single crystals, polycrystalline
materials, particles, fibers/wires, coatings, non-porous materials, porous scaffolds,
etc. New and developing areas of biomaterials, such as nano-biomaterials and
diagnostic and therapeutic nanodevices, are also focuses in this series. Advanced
analytical techniques that are applicable in R&D and theoretical methods and
analyses for biomaterials are also important topics. Frontiers in nanomedicine,
regenerative medicine and other rapidly advancing areas calling for great
explorations are highly relevant.
The Springer Series in Biomaterials Science and Engineering aims to provide
critical reviews of important subjects in the field, publish new discoveries and
significant progresses that have been made in both biomaterials development and
the advancement of principles, theories and designs, and report cutting-edge
research and relevant technologies. The individual volumes in the series are
thematic.Thegoalofeachvolumeistogivereaders acomprehensiveoverviewof
anareawherenewknowledgehasbeengainedandinsightsmade.Significanttopics
in the area are dealt with in good depth and future directions are predicted on the
basis of current developments. As a collection, the series provides authoritative
works to a wide audience in academia, the research community, and industry.

Preface
Polysaccharide is a type of carbohydrate molecules composed of long polymeric
chains with monosaccharideunitsasbuilding blocks covalently boundtogetherby
glycosidiclinkages.Thetypicalpolysaccharidesinnaturearecellulose,chitin,and
starch,whichcommonlyexistintheplants,animals,microorganisms,andbacteria.
Derived from the strong intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, the crystalline
andamorphousregionsbytheorderedarrangementandassemblyofthelinearand
highly branched polymeric chains constitute the microstructures of these polysac-
charides.Nanopolysaccharidescanbeproducedbythepartialorcompleteremoval
of amorphous regions, which is a kind of novel materials with the preservation of
crystalline region and possesses the nanometer scale (<100 nm) at least one
dimension.Thetypicalnanopolysaccharidesincludethehighlycrystallinecellulose
nanocrystal, chitin nanocrystal, and starch nanocrystal, together with the
semi-flexible cellulose nanofibril and chitin nanofibril. As the nanoscaled aggre-
gatesofnaturalpolymers,thesenanopolysaccharidesexhibitnumerousadvantages
in comparison with conventional inorganic and metal nanoparticles, for instance,
renewability, low toxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, high mechanical
modulus but low density, high specific area and surface activity, morphological
regulation, etc. Since the first report by Dr. Alain Dufresne on the use of cellulose
nanocrystal as the rigid filler to enhance the mechanical property of rubber-based
composite,theapplicationofnanopolysaccharidesinmaterialssciencehasattracted
a surging number of researchers in this field. With the continuous attempt during
lastthirtyyears,thefunctionalmaterialsbasedonnanopolysaccharideswererapidly
developed,involvingtheexplorationoftheirnovelpropertiesandadditionaladded
values in diverse applications taking the special functions but not only mechanical
enhancement. Focusing on the nanocellulose, nanochitin, and nanostarch, this
monograph is the summarization and discussion on the functional materials from
these three nanopolysaccharides covering the studies in recent ten years on this
topic.
The structural framework of this monograph is organized according to the
specific functional applications of nanopolysaccharides with 12 chapters. In each

Chap. 1 introduces the different preparation routes and main properties of
nanocellulose, nanochitin, and nanostarch. The influence of preparation and treat-
ment on the properties of obtained nanopolysaccharides is also discussed in this
chapter, which is an important issue for their applications. Chapter 2 covers the
surface modification with functional molecules on nanopolysaccharides, involving
the surface grafting of selective functional molecules as antibacterial, fluorescent,
stimuli-responsive, superhydrophobic molecules, and modifications on drug deliv-
ery. Rod-like cellulose nanocrystals and chitin nanocrystals can form the chiral
nematic liquid crystal phase in suspensions, which can be preserved in the

nanomaterials from sustainable resources, the energy material-based nanopolysac-
charides received much attention with the purpose of replacing conventional syn-
thetic materials, and Chap. 4 focuses on the preparation and application of
nanopolysaccharide-based energy storage materials including the dielectric capaci-
tor, supercapacitor and battery. Chapter 5 summarizes the development of
nanopolysaccharides in the fields of biomedical applications, served as the bio-
compatibleandnon-toxicnanomaterialsintheconstructionsystemsofdrugrelease
and gene delivery, bioimage, biosensor, and biocatalyst, tissue engineering, and
bioscaffold. Pickering emulsions stabilized by nanopolysaccharides have drawn
increased attentions as they possess the enhanced stability, biocompatibility, and
environmentalfriendlinessovertraditionalsurfactant-stabilizedemulsions.Chapter
6 offers an overview of Pickering emulsions stabilized by pristine and modified
nanopolysaccharides on the definition, instability mechanism, and potential
applications.
In view of the resources and environmental concerns, Chap. 7 discusses the
binding efficiency of pollutants in nanopolysaccharides, providing the overview of
pristine, surface-functionalized nanopolysaccharides, and nanocomposites for
applicationsinremovalheavymetalions,dyes,organicmolecules,andtoxicgasin
various wastewater treatment and gas adsorption processes. The highly crystalline
and rigid nanopolysaccharides are the promising additives in the coating applica-
tions, for instance, the effect on the barrier, anti-corrosion, UV shielding,
scratch-resistant, which are described in Chap. 8. From another point of view,
Chap.9emphasizesthenanopolysaccharidesasbarriercomponentsorlayersinthe
packaging composites, discussing the selection and match of the specific
nanopolysaccharide with matrix, processing and construction of barrier system, as
well as characterization and mechanism of water vapor/oxygen permeability and
barrier. Some recent studies reported the introduction of nanopolysaccharides as

summarized in Chap. 10 as food, construction and ceramics, and adhesive addi-
tives. Besides the academic interests discussed by the previous ten chapters, the

tional applications of nanopolysaccharides and proposes the challenges and likely
future trends on this topic.
