Composites are Key to Nano Commercialization, Paper360º May/June 2018

Around the world, researchers are finding more and more evidence that the frailty of our planet and the changes within its atmospheric patterns are in critical need of attention. Rapid population growth and an increasing need for landfills due to consumption of plastics and other non-biodegradable, petroleum-based materials are compounding an already alarming environmental trend.

At Georgia Tech’s Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI), faculty and students are engaged in a technology with tremendous potential to address some of these challenges: the pursuit of innovative use for nanocellulose and wood-derived lignin. The goal is to find more ways to replace synthetic materials in manufactured items that people around the world consume daily.
