Number: 2016/23 / D / ST5 / 00451
PI: dr Dominika Pawcenis
Awarded amount: PLN 632 300
Project start: 2017-07-18
Project duration: 36 months
The aim of the project is to develop a hybrid material consisting of functionalized nanocellulose and metal nanoparticles embedded in it (palladium, platinum, copper or cobalt) and then study the properties of such a combination. It is expected that converting macrocellulose to nanocellulose will achieve a number of desirable properties such as greater porosity, greater hygroscopicity, and better thermal, mechanical and optical properties.
