2006 International Conference on Nanotechnology for the Forest Products Industry

TAPPI“2006年国际森林产品工业纳米技术会议“摘要木本植物中的木质纤维素是自然界最丰富的材料之一，而宏观水平上的木质纤维素是我们最常用和普遍存在的材料之一。 然而，到目前为止，木材木质纤维素的内在自组装纳米级结构，以及其三个关键的生物聚合物，纤维素，半纤维素和木质素的多功能性，在很大程度上被忽视了在纳米科学和工程。 这次技术会议将为研究人员提供一个论坛，分享关于木质纤维素生物聚合物作为纳米材料的最新信息，并将提供一个研究途径，使这些木质纤维素生物聚合物成为创新结构和非结构纳米级生物材料的基石，这将有助于基于自然界卓越的可再生和可持续资源的下一代纳米生物复合材料。NSF对TAPPI“2006年森林产品工业纳米技术国际会议”的支持将使一个开创性的研究会议能够针对使用纳米级木质纤维素衍生生物材料的有远见的新机会。 具体来说，这次国际技术会议将确定纳米级木质纤维素作为结构和非结构材料的新的和重要的途径，并将提供一个论坛，报告与利用木材木质纤维素有关的纳米科学和工程的最新进展。 此外，讨论小组和个人演讲者将报告并确定在纳米复合材料中使用木质纤维素和其他材料的关键基础研究和开发挑战以及知识差距。 这次会议将汇集世界各地的木质纤维素和纳米技术科学与工程专家，分享信息，促进国内和国际合作。

TAPPI "2006 International Conference on Nanotechnology for the Forest Products Industry"AbstractLignocellulose in woody plants is one of nature's most abundant materials, and wood-based lignocellulose at the macroscale level is one of our most used and ubiquitous materials. However, to-date, the intrinsic self-assembling nanoscale structure of wood lignocellulose, as well as the versatility of its three key biopolymers, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, largely have been overlooked in nanoscale science and engineering. This technical conference will provide researchers a forum to share state-of-the-art information on lignocellulosic biopolymers as nanomaterials and will provide a research pathway by which these lignocellulosic biopolymers will become the cornerstone of innovative structural and nonstructural nanoscale biomaterials that will contribute to the next generation of nanobiocomposite materials based on nature's preeminent renewable and sustainable resource. NSF support for the TAPPI "2006 International Conference on Nanotechnology for the Forest Products Industry" will enable a path-breaking research conference directed at visionary new opportunities for using nanoscale, lignocellulosic-derived biomaterials. Specifically, this international technical conference will identify new and important avenues for nanoscale lignocellulosics as structural and nonstructural materials and will provide a forum for the reporting of recent state-of-the-art advances in nanoscience and engineering related to utilization of lignocellulosics from wood. In addition, discussion panels and individual presenters will report on and identify key fundamental research and development challenges and knowledge gaps in using lignocelluloses and other materials in nanocomposites. This conference will bring together world experts in lignocellulose and nanotechnology science and engineering to share information and foster collaboration nationally and internationally.
