This book will help the reader to develop a deeper
understanding about the concepts related to cellulose and the nanocellulose
structure, modification, production, dissolution, and application. This book
will serve as the starting point for materials science researchers, engineers,
and technologists from diverse backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biology,
materials science, and engineering who want to know and better understand the
unique characteristics of the most abundant biopolymer on earth.

This lecture gives an overview introduction into organic chemistry.
It focuses on chemistry, as this plays a fundamental role for biological systems
through organic molecules. It touches all the basics: the unique properties of
carbon atoms, the types of bonds carbon can form, and the structure and
isomerism of organic molecules. The chain isomerism, positional isomerism, and
functional group isomerism thus discussed give students in medical and
biological sciences a sound background in understanding the molecular mechanism
behind organic chemistry.

This broad spectrum of organic compounds in the textbook encompasses
derivatives of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes,
ketones, and carboxylic acids. The text encompasses functional derivatives of
monocarboxylic acids, nitriles, and organosulfur and organophosphorus compounds,
based on their chemical behavior and reactivity. It provides comprehensive
insights into amino compounds and the various organic reactions occurring within
these functional groups. This is the main textbook for students who wish to have
mastery over organic chemistry concepts before advanced study or research in
it.
