To date, the global market nanocellulose is estimated at 65 million dollars, and is expected to reach $ 530 million by 2021. The average annual growth rate between 2016 and 2021 will be 30%. According to the Institute for statistical studies and Economics of knowledge, HSE global market nanocellulose in 2020 could reach $ 250 million in North America alone.

Nanocellulose properties (e.g. mechanical properties, film-forming properties, viscosity etc.) makes it an interesting material for many applications, having the potential to create a multibillion-dollar market in such industries as food products, composite materials, production, packaging, medicine and cosmetics. Also nanocellulose can be applied to create a light and durable body armor, super-flexible screens, filters, flexible batteries.

The purpose of the conference is to discuss problems and prospects of production and application nanocellulosic materials. Industry experts will speak on various topics, including:

Highly efficient production methods of nanocellulose;

Nanocellulose modification of materials to improve their properties;

The use of nanocellulose in traditional areas (e.g. in paper and packaging products);

The use of nanocellulose in new areas (for example, modification of rheological properties, food additives, coatings and paints, oil and gas, nanocomposites etc.);

Possible applications nanocellulosic materials (medicine, biology, etc.)

Date: 4 April 2017.
