This Holiday Season, Share Your Research with the Nanocellulose Community

Abstracts are due 8 January 2023 for the 2023 TAPPI International Conference on Nanotechnology for Renewable Materials (TAPPI Nano) taking place 12-16 June in Vancouver, BC, Canada. As you reflect on the year’s accomplishments and your hopes for the coming year, consider how you can shape the dialog in the global nanocellulose community by submitting a presentation.

This is a valuable opportunity to share your latest technical developments and applications of renewable nanomaterials and establish yourself as a thought leader in the arena. You could say you are giving the gift of knowledge! Download the Call for Presentations.

TAPPI Nano brings together the international nanomaterials community to discuss the latest advances in production and use of cellulose nanomaterials in a variety of industries. Expand your network with some of the brightest international minds in nanotechnology and gain insights into the latest advancements in research and actual application in today’s newest products. Download the Call for Presentations.

This year’s special topics include:

Dispersion of CNMs in Polymer Matrices or Elastomers – Utilizing water-based chemistry, reactive drying or other methods for hydrophobicity to achieve the dispersion of CNMs in polymer matrices or elastomers
Development of Barrier Properties – Focusing on industrial applications and product development of oxygen, water, water vapor, oil and grease barriers with the goal to achieve faster measurement of these properties
Development of CNM Use in Targeted Applications – The development of cellulose nanomaterial in Paper & Packaging, Medical, Cosmetic, Construction, Textile & Nonwovens, Automotive, Resource Extraction, Paints & Coatings and Filters

Conference organizers are also requesting presentations on the following topics:

Nanomaterial Production
Nanomaterial Characterization
Applications and Product Development: CNF & MFC
Applications and Product Development: CNC, Lignin, and Other Renewable Nanomaterials
EH&S, Product Stewardship, Standards Development & Regulations

Student oral presentations and posters are also welcome. View the Call for Presentations for all the details.

The TAPPI Nano 2023 program now includes a New Technology Showcase, an opportunity for companies to share their latest technologies and advancements. These 8-minute presentations will showcase innovations developed in the last year. Applications from non-exhibiting companies will be accepted on a first come-first served basis to fill any remaining time slots. Applications for non-exhibiting companies are due 8 January 2023. For details on exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities, view the prospectus.

Abstracts must be uploaded to the TAPPI Speaker Management System before 8 January 2023.
