Due to the scientific drive and social necessity for more environmentally friendly products, the proposed research program focuses on developing novel materials from renewable resources. Specifically, it aims to transform the performance of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) through interfacial engineering which will extend the range of applications for an emerging Canadian material from the forest industry. Through close contact with industry, we will elucidate the links between particle chemistry and functionality with an emphasis on imparting new properties which are crucial for commercial products. This research is essential to enable widespread use of nanocellulose in strategic Canadian industries, including pulp & paper, food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, oil & gas, and manufacturing.

由于对更环保产品的科学驱动和社会需求，拟议的研究项目侧重于从可再生资源中开发新型材料。具体来说，它旨在通过界面工程改变纤维素纳米晶体（cnc）的性能，这将扩大来自森林工业的新兴加拿大材料的应用范围。通过与工业界的密切接触，我们将阐明颗粒化学和功能之间的联系，重点是传授对商业产品至关重要的新特性。这项研究是必不可少的，使纳米纤维素广泛应用于加拿大的战略工业，包括纸浆和造纸，食品，化妆品，制药，石油和天然气，以及制造业。
