Green Electronics from Renewable Nanomaterials
Renewable materials from nature are emerging as attractive solutions to create flexible, lightweight, cost efficient, renewable, and biocompatible devices. In particular, nanocellulose materials are not only biocompatible and earth-abundant but also have nature-provided intrinsic structures for potentially transformative performance.
This June, TAPPI’s 2015 International Conference on Nanotechnology for Renewable Materials is shining a spotlight on this new technology area. Two expert scientists, Dr. Liangbing Hu, Univ. of Maryland College Park, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, and Dr. Junyong Zhu, USDA Forest Product Lab have organized a special symposium on Nanocellulose Materials and Their Applications in Energy, Electronics and Biological Devices.
Scheduled for Wednesday, 24 June 2015, Hu and Zhu have assembled 20 leading experts to provide a forum for scientists and engineers working in nanocellulose materials to communicate recent progress on current technologies and to exchange ideas about next-generation solutions.
Topics to be presented include:
