New TAPPI Webinar: Surface Engineering of Cellulose Nanocrystals for Sustainable Bioproduct Development
Hear New Insights on How to Engineer Sustainable High-Performance Materials with Improved Functionality
Surface Engineering of Cellulose Nanocrystals for Sustainable Bioproduct Development
Tuesday, April 9, 2024
12:00pm – 1:00pm (ET)
TAPPI’s Nanotechnology Division is organizing a new informational webinar focused on how Cranston's research group aims to bridge the gap between industrial nanocellulose producers, R&D, and potential end users by exploring fundamentals. You will learn to describe the advantages of cellulose nanocrystals and select appropriate characterization tools and surface modification methods for cellulose nanocrystals.
In this webinar, Cranston will highlight recent contributions in the areas of benchmarking commercial cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and characterization method development; CNC-stabilized emulsions and latexes for applications in cosmetics, food, paints, coatings, and adhesives; and CNC-templated energy storage and production devices.

Meet the Speaker: Emily Cranston, Professor in Wood Science and Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia
Emily D. Cranston is a Professor in Wood Science and Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia and is the President’s Excellence Chair in Forest Bio-products. Prior to January 2019, she was an Associate Professor at McMaster University and the Canada Research Chair in Bio-Based Nanomaterials (Tier 2). Emily’s research focuses on sustainable hybrid materials from cellulose and other biopolymers. Her academic path began at McGill University where she received her BSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Materials Chemistry. The study of value-added products from cellulose took her to Stockholm, Sweden as a postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology before she returned to Canada in 2011 Learn more about Emily Cranston.
