Research Committee

 

 

 

 

 

Mission:

To provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers and scientists to exchange information and collaborate for the advancement of science and engineering that is needed to address industry-wide needs in commercial development of renewable nanomaterials.  

Activities:

Focus on industry-wide and pre-competitive issues, including: 

• Characterization, Environmental-Health-Safety (EHS), modeling,
• Renewable nanomaterials (cellulosic, chitin, hemicelluloses, lignin, starch, etc) 
• Applications-based platform technology areas
• Assist in the development of thematic program and organization of intentional meetings
• Cross Communicate with research and development centers and universities worldwide
• Assist other committees and leadership in research-related aspects
• Coordinate with other committees research-oriented plans and activities
• Identify research infrastructure and support requirements for members
• Identify educational research priorities and projects of relevance to TAPPI constituencies
