报告内容简介：Wood nanotechnology is primarily associated with research on the extractions of wood and use of nanocellulose, hemicellulose or lignin for new materials. It also includes technologies applied to bulk wood materials. Recently, research in wood nanotechnology toward new material design concepts, e.g. structural and functional materials, has become a rapidly emerging field.

 Wood nanotechnology is applied to modify wood at nanoscale for engineering purposes. It allows to remove lignin and part of hemicellulose form a hierarchically structured wood resulting in a nanoporous scaffold mainly composed of cellulose nanofibrils. New material design with additional functionalities using these nanostructured wood templates is proposed. In this seminar, I will briefly discuss a short research background and motivations happening in my group. Then, I will introduce my research overview and selective achievements on applying wood nanotechnology in both structural and functional material design aspects. The future potentials of wood nanotechnologies will be discussed.
