Nanoengineering Cellulose for Environmental and Biomedical Applications

This webinar, from the National Center for Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge, provides information on environmental and biomedical applications for nanocelluloses. The presentation was given by Dr. Amir Sheikhi, Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Background information is given on the importance of biomedical engineering and the history of cellulose, nanocelluloses, and hairy nanocelluloses. Applications of hairy nanocelluloses are described in detail and includes the following five topics: Scale Inhibition, Biomimetic Mineralization, Water Remediation, Scale-resistance Interfaces, and Other Applications. The video runs 1:02:52 minutes in length.
