Word from speaker Feng Jiang: “In this webinar, I would review the research activities of my lab (Sustainable Functional Biomaterials lab at UBC) in both areas over the past two years, including our approaches in isolating lignin-containing cellulose nanocrystals from thermomechanical pulp using deep eutectic solvent, developing cellulose nanofibrils based hydrogel sensors, 3D printing of cellulose and nanocellulose into strong and superelastic materials, as well as fabricating super thermal-insulating aerogel. It is expected this webinar can spark more research interest in the field of bio-based nanomaterials.”
