Share Your Insights at TAPPI Nano 2022, 13-17 June 2022 in Helsinki, Finland

Submit a presentation to the 2022 International Conference on Nanotechnology for Renewable Nanomaterials  and establish yourself as a subject matter expert in the global nanotechnology arena. Your latest technical developments and applications of renewable nanomaterials need to be part of the conversation.  

TAPPI Nano brings together the international nanomaterials community to discuss the latest advances in production and use of cellulose nanomaterials in a variety of industries. Expand your network with some of the brightest international minds in nanotechnology and gain insights into the latest advancements in research and actual application in today’s newest products. Download the Call for Presentations.

This year’s special topics include:

• Materials for Sustainability - encompassing the utilization of renewable materials and nanotechnology to address the 17 sustainable development goals set by the United Nations in a collective effort to foster a secure and sustainable economic growth.
• Sustainable Process of Producing CNMs - focusing on achieving true sustainability in producing CNMs, specifically, using processes with low energy input and environmentally benign and highly recyclable chemicals for economic production of CNMs.

Other topics that will be considered for presentation include:

• Characterization and Metrology from the Lab to Production Plant
• Self- Assembled and Ordered Materials
• Composite Processing and Performance
• Paper and Packaging
• Functional Materials and Soft Matter
• Biomedical Applications
• Electronics, Photonics and Energy Technologies
• Renewable Nanomaterials Production
• Product Stewardship and Safety
• Developing Standards to Support Commercialization

Student oral presentations and posters are also welcome.

All submissions are peer reviewed by the conference Co-chairs and Nano Division Research Subcommittees. This year’s conference co-chairs are:

• Dr. Heli Kangas, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., Finland
• Prof. Eero Kontturi, Aalto University, Finland
• Dr. Mehdi Tajvidi, University of Maine, USA

TAPPI Nano is the only international conference dedicated specifically to the production and use of renewable cellulose nanomaterials. There are global challenges with over-reliance on fossil reserves, resource insufficiency, and climate change, and there is therefore an urgent need to transform the existing materials paradigm.

This year’s Finnish location, a center for nanotechnology research, brings additional opportunities to meet, network with and learn from leading researchers, scientists and business professionals from that region. Finland has a unique focus on paper, paperboard, cellulosic pulp and fibers. Forests cover 75% of Finland’s land area, and the forest industry accounts for over 20% of export revenue.

The paper and pulping industry is always changing, and it is critical for industry professional to stay abreast of modern sustainable processes. Consider presenting your research today.
