Grafting Nature-Inspired and Bio-Based Phenolic Esters onto Cellulose Nanocrystals Gives Biomaterials with Photostable Anti-UV Properties.

Invited for this month's cover is the international collaborative work from the Bioresource Processing Research Institute of Australia (BioPRIA)-Monash University and URD Agro-Biotechnologies Industrielles (ABI)-AgroParisTech. The cover image shows how the grafting of Nature-inspired and bio-based phenolic esters on cellulose nanocrystals through click-chemistry provides materials with highly photostable UV-blocking properties.
