Symposium I-Nanocellulose Materials and Beyond—Nanoscience, Structures, Devices and Nanomanufacturing

Renewable materials from nature are emerging as attractive solutions to a range of technological challenges. In particular, nanocellulose materials are not only biocompatible and earth-abundant but also have nature-provided intrinsic structures for potentially transformative performance. There are still grand challenges in fundamental research and understanding to accelerate nanocellulose materials toward commercial reality, which include new materials and structures with tailored properties, novel devices with both excellent functionality and mechanical flexibility, efficient and scalable techniques for nanomanufacturing, and system-level integrations.

This symposium is intended to provide a forum for scientists and engineers working in nanocellulose materials, other biopolymers, and the related fields to communicate recent progress on current technologies and to exchange ideas about next-generation solutions
