Nano 2024 to Showcase Student Innovation

TAPPI’s 2024 International Conference on Nanotechnology for Renewable Materials (Nano) will take place from June 10-14 in Atlanta, GA. This prestigious event brings together researchers, industry experts, and students from around the globe to explore cutting-edge developments in nanotechnology for renewable materials.  A highlight of this year’s conference is the dynamic poster session, showcasing over 19 posters, 15 of which are presented by students who will also compete in the Student Poster Competition.

Spotlight on Student Innovation

Nano’s poster session is a crucial platform for emerging researchers to present their work and gain valuable feedback. Student presenters compete for top honors and prizes, making the competition a significant event at the Conference. This year’s posters feature a diverse array of groundbreaking research, including:

• A Simple Pre-Fibrillation Route to L-MFC With a Combination of GE-Based Organosolv Pulping and Alkali Kneading Process by Jung Myoung Lee, Kyungpook National University
• Advancing Surface Analysis of Cellulose Nanofibers Through Trifluoroacetate Functionalities by Robert Nicholas, Purdue University
• Cellulose Nanofibril Based Hydrogel with High Toughness for Application to 3D Printing by Yongjae Lee, Seoul National University
• Cellulose Nanofibril Films As a Potential Flexible Substrate for Soft Electronic Devices by Luz Meza, North Carolina State University

These posters represent the forefront of research in cellulose nanomaterials, highlighting innovations that could revolutionize industries from packaging to electronics.
