The Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation Hosts Webinar Series: “Biobased Materials for Advanced Manufacturing”
The Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation (APPTI) has organized a webinar series entitled “Biobased Materials for Advanced Manufacturing” to highlight the nanocellulose research being conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Maine, and 20+ industrial partners under their multi-year $40 million bio-derived materials research collaboration funded by the Department of Energy.
The goal of the sustainable biocomposite manufacturing research program is to enable high-volume utilization of forest products & cellulose nanofibrils to develop renewable, low cost, energy-efficient biobased feedstocks and end-use applications for large-scale additive manufacturing and other composite applications.
The webinar series is structured to promote new learnings and collaboration opportunities resulting from the research.
The Webinar Dates are:
January 28, 2022
April 4, 2022
October 14, 2022
Each 90-minute webinar will feature presentations from three research scientists in the areas of energy reduction of CNF production, improved distribution of CNF in composites, and improved performance of CNF-based composites. Each webinar will conclude with a case study highlighting the impact of the biomaterials program in the areas of technical collaborations with industry, licensing, and cellulose composites scale-up.
The first webinar will be held January 28, 2022, at 10:00 EST.
