Well-managed forests are extremely important resources of stored modern-era carbon that can be used to create materials for sustainable consumption that do not compete with agricultural lands. This idea is central to the health of the earth as another billion people will inhabit the planet in a dozen years requiring both food and energy resources. Furthermore, the release of ancient buried carbon into the atmosphere, global warming, and the environmental issues with fracking have increased concern in the use of fossil technologies. Consumer interest in mitigating environmentally malignant technologies and the high quality materials that can be produced biologically, serve as the impetus for this Discovery Proposal to develop the science to create high performance fibres and new nanoparticles from forest resources.

管理良好的森林是储存现代碳的极其重要的资源，可用于创造不与农业用地竞争的可持续消费材料。这一想法对地球的健康至关重要，因为十几年后将有另外10亿人居住在这个星球上，需要食物和能源。此外，古代埋藏的碳释放到大气中，全球变暖以及水力压裂的环境问题增加了对化石技术使用的关注。消费者对减轻环境恶性技术和高质量生物材料的兴趣，推动了这一发现提案，以发展科学，从森林资源中创造高性能纤维和新的纳米颗粒。
