    Jeffrey P. Youngblood from Purdue University presented research on sustainable composites made from nanocellulose materials like cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils. These materials are attractive for nanocomposites, nanomaterials, and biomedicine because they are renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic, inexpensive, and transparent while also being strong and stiff. The presentation detailed efforts to use these nanocellulose materials as reinforcements in composites or as standalone materials for structural and consumer applications and discussed the resulting mechanical and thermal properties. The goal was to provide new understanding of how preparation variables interconnect to optimize design of cellulose nanocrystal or nanofibril materials.

    Nano- / Bio- Is Not an Either/Or Choice for Sustainable Composites

    ABSTRACT
    In this presentation, an overview will be presented of recent research into sustainable composites,
    with specific focus given to nanocellulose materials. Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) and
    Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNF) are attractive materials for possible applications in nanocomposites
    reinforcement, nanomaterials and biomedicine as they have high strength and stiffness, yet are
    renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic, cheap, and optically transparent. Here, we will detail
    efforts to utilize these materials in composites, both as nanoreinforcements and as a neat material
    for both structural materials and consumer applications with discussion of the resultant
    mechanical and termal properties. Thus, we provide new elements to understand the
    interconnection among preparation variables towards an optimal CNC or CNF materials design.
    Key Words: cellulose nanocrystal, sustainable nanomaterials.
