ALT Text in image: Nanosized cellulose materials present remarkable properties, such as low density, high aspect ratio, and high capacity to be modified. Such properties along with recent breakthroughs in energy efficient and up-scalable production methods, makes them very appealing to be used in several high-performance applications. Successful use of nanocellulose in different applications requires a thorough characterization and a deep understanding of the phenomena occurring at the interphases when these materials are combined with other bio-based polymeric matrices. Dr. Peresin’s research focus is on understanding the structure-properties relationship of bio-based materials for developing of value-added by fine-tuning surface chemistry and interactions among the system components. In this seminar, she will introduce nanocellulose materials and their challenges. An overview of her research platform will be presented, including the development of solutions for water remediation, macrom
