2021 TAPPI NANO Webinar Series: Surface Interactions of Nanocellulose and Biomolecules – Webinar (Free)
Monday, October 25th | 9:00AM – 10:00AM EST |
Cellulose nanomaterials have been researched intensively for more than a decade. As a sustainable and recyclable material, it has attracted the attention of both academia and industry. Its materials properties hold many promises towards reinforcement in composite materials and replacement of less sustainable materials such as oil-based plastics. Whether the material is suited for these purposes is dependent on the surface interactions it has with the interfacing material of liquid media. The surface properties are often chemically modified to suite application purposes. These modifications often cause changes to the materials properties. The alteration of materials properties via surface modification can also be done via biological means, i.e. enzymatic catalysis, protein interactions, and physical adsorption of polysaccharides or ions. Cellulose nanomaterials have a large surface area and are thus suited to probe the fundamental aspects of surface interactions and their effects on materials properties. This leads to realizations of applicability of these materials in untraditional and conceptually novel systems and applications. Attend this webinar to learn the importance of surface interactions and the effects of surface interactions in overall materials properties.
