This year’s conference is packed with technical presentations on a production, characterization, applications and functionalizaton of renewable nanomaterials. Whether a researcher, product developer, student or entrepreneur, Nano 2015 has the knowledge and networks to launch your innovations.
TAPPI Interviews Keynote Speakers From API and NINT
Dr. Theodora Retsina, CEO, American Process Inc.
“It’s good to see how developments with nanocellulose can help the pulp and paper industry, but it is also good to see the industry looking at applications beyond pulp and paper. The potential is immense.”

Dr. Marie D'Iori, Executive Director, National Institute for Nanotechnology and Professor of Physics and Assistant VP-Research (Nanotechnology), University of Alberta
“I think that nanocellulose will become one of those ubiquitous materials finding its way in all industrial sectors because of its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Product lifecycle and environmental footprint will play in favor of nanocellulose-based materials, be it in lightweight materials for automotive and aerospace applications or hydrophilic membranes in biodegradable products. I think that tissue repair and substitutes and the use of biocellulose are in our future."
