Objectives
- Synthesise lignin colloid systems by a microfluidics process (nanoparticles and microcapsules);
- Synthesise lignin colloid systems from dynamically cross-linked and hydrophobized lignins
- Synthesise of lignin colloid systems with active loadings providing self-healing, antioxidant, antimicrobial and moisture barrier properties;
- Exploit the developed colloidal systems i) for wood reassembly; ii) to investigate possible resins formulations with self-healing, anti-corrosive properties
Secondments
