This article provides a novel and efficient method of “self‐assembly/modification/dispersion” for the preparation of functionalized cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) based on regenerated cellulose hydrogel (RCH). The process of the preparation of CNPs is simplified greatly, which contributes to broaden...
