Enseignement scientifique et technique - BIOCEB-Aalto-Cellulose : Cellulose-based fibres (including Green Line project 3rd stage)

Descriptif

Acquaint the student with plant-based fibres and nanofibres: structure,
physical and chemical behavior as well as applications

Objectifs pédagogiques

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

- Be able to tell the physical and chemical distinctions between natural
fibres, regenerated fibres, and nanofibres

- Be able to describe the basic structures, properties and functions of
common hemicelluloses and lignins

- Master the morphology of the native cellulose microfibril and
acknowledge how it affects nanocellulose preparation and properties

- Be able to detect the major obstacles and difficulties in cellulose
dissolution and regeneration through basic laws of physical chemistry

- Be able to explain the main pathways to chemical modification of
cellulose, including nanocellulose

- Be able to apply basic structure-property relationship to cellulose-
based fibres and understand their implications in most common
modern applications

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

- Be able to distinguish the special nature of plant-based fibres and
assess how the properties affect their applicability

- Be able to point out the main bottlenecks in modern applications of
cellulose-based fibres, and fibre components

- Be able to choose correct analytical methods for assessing certain
properties of cellulose-based fibres and their applications
