Nanotechnology for the Forest Product Industry - 2010 International Conference
[27-29 Sep 2010]

>>  Derived from wood, nanocyrstalline cellulose (NCC) and nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) are generating increased interest from the scientific and business communities. These nanomaterials have unique properties, ranging from improving paper properties to producing unique bionanocomposites. As NCC and NFC are derived from a renewable, well-managed resource – trees – there is great commercial potential.

>>  TAPPI’s annual Nanotechnology Conference focuses on bringing the newest advances in the field to the technical program, promoting the versatility and promise of cellulose-based nanomaterials, and offering the technical community networking opportunities to advance development of these promising technologies.

>>  Thematic areas:

• Nanocellulosics and Nanocomposites
• Wood Products and Nanotechnology
• Consumer Perception/Governmental Regulation and Nanotechnology
• Biorefinery Concept in Nanocellulose Manufacturing
• Organized Structures, Thin Films and Interfacial Assemblies
• Computer Modeling
• Nanotech Coatings and New Nano-Enabled Functionalities
• Market Opportunities for Forest Based Nano Materials
• Product Demonstrations and Poster Sessions
• Updates from EU Nanoclusters and Publicly Funded Forest-Based Nanotech Centers in North America
