The Program is Set: ZELLCHEMING Conference 2022 - Cellulose-Based Materials

ZELLCHEMING Conference 2022 - Cellulose-Based Materials will focus on the growing importance of a bioeconomy strategy based on renewable raw materials. Twenty-four scientific and technical presentations will cover the immense potential of cellulose. It is considered the main component of plant cell walls and the world's most abundant organic compound, which will be addressed by internationally renowned speakers. The event, which will take place from June 26 to 29, 2022, at the RheinMain CongressCenter (RMCC) in Wiesbaden, Germany, will for the first time bridge the gap between innovative research on cellulose-based as well as derived polymers and scientific work in the field of probably the best-known material built from cellulose: paper.

The conference is bringing together industry and research institutes in the fields of chemistry, physics and engineering. It facilitates an active exchange through a joint initiative of professors from the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Jena, as well as the ZELLCHEMING association with its technical committees. Young researchers are also actively involved and present their own work as a poster show.

The program of the three-day conference is divided into different sessions, each led by Professors Heinze, Biesalski and Schabel: Cellulose Chemistry and Physics; Paper Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Lignocellulose; Paper and Pulp Engineering; and Paper Engineering, Physics & Characterization. Highlights include insights into pharmaceutical and bio-medical applications, cellulose processing capabilities, film production, paper-based diagnostic tools, or sustainable energy generation.

"We are very pleased that we have been able to attract internationally renowned representatives from science and industry to speak at our event," says Prof. Dr. Markus Biesalski, Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry and Paper Chemistry at TU Darmstadt. "The lecture program is an expression of the increasing dovetailing of the wood- and recycled fiber-based paper industry with companies and scientists in the field of cellulose chemistry who are dedicated to the use of cellulose polymers in sustainable products. With our conference, we would like to provide a framework for this content in the future!" explains Prof. Dr.-Ing. Samuel Schabel, Head of the Department of Paper Manufacturing and Mechanical Process Engineering at TU Darmstadt.
