CNF stabilized PCM by an oil-in-water Pickering emulsion
Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) based functional emulsions
Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) based functional emulsions
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) based Pickering emulsion to stabilize a phase change material (PCM) serving as a thermal energy storage material.
Further research is in progress on creating functional Pickering emulsions utilizing lignocellulosic nanomaterials.
AITC-bCD inclusion complex impregnated in wood
Essential oils based natural preservatives
Essential oils based natural preservatives
Essential oils (EO) encapsulated in beta-cyclodextrins (bCD) as sustained-release carriers are shown to be effective as natural wood preservatives.
Further research is underway regarding utilization of EO-bCD in wood composites, food packaging, and pest management.
Deposition of micronized CuCO3 particles on wood by TSC
Liquid-precursor flame spray pyrolysis
Liquid-precursor flame spray pyrolysis
Liquid-precursor flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) allows for the deposition of inorganic and metallic particles on lignocellulosic surfaces.
FSP would provide unique properties on wood-based substrates and products such as hydrophobicity, dimensional stability, resistance to UV weathering and decay.
PCM-LRPU stabilizing thermal fluctuation of a building
Shape-stabilized phase change materials
Shape-stabilized phase change materials
Organic phase change materials (PCM) are shape-stabilized in the closed-cell structure of lignin-based rigid polyurethane (LRPU) foams.
PCM-LRPU foams serve as load-bearing and thermal energy storage elements in buildings.
Further research is underway regarding PCM-containing microcapsules and shape-stabilized inorganic PCM.
We are looking for talented and committed graduate students as well as undergraduate research assistants.
