Zusammenfassung:Research and teaching of biomass and bioenergy concepts has become paramount in these trying economic times that demand alternatives to scarce and unrenewable petroleum supplies for manufacture. This article attempts to provide a review of select and highly functional biomass concepts from a United States Department of Agriculture-sponsored work 'BioSUCCEED' at North Carolina State University that focuses specifically on cellulose nanocrystals, a sustainable, robust, and potentially powerful vehicle for improved engineered composites.
