PAT Cenacoli Project Closure Meeting Klaus Müller, in memoriam

April 2, 2012

The CENACOLI project started in  2008, having Prof. Klaus Müller as scientific leader  for three years. The title project  is “Nanocomposites and hybrid materials on cellulose and lignin (paper and wood) for preservation from fungi attack and as flame  retardant” and it is devoted to various scientific and technological aspects related to wood and paper surface modification and functionalization, taking into account materials composition, microstructure, morphology, stability and materials interface investigations by advanced analytics and simulation techniques.
The project was supported by Provincia autonoma di Trento (PAT).

Workshop objectives
The Cenacoli project Closure Meeting is dedicated to Klaus Müller memory and represents a venue for exchange ideas, especially addressed to young scientists interested in inorganic materials, hybrid macromolecular polymers, wood and paper surface modification and their characterization. The workshop would encourage dissemination of the latest research activities, bringing together, with an interdisciplinary approach, academia and industry challenges in order to combining renewable resources with low environmental impact chemical techniques.
 

Workshop topics:

• NMR and other analytical technique for characterizing materials
• Wood and paper surface modification and functionalization
• Wood and paper interface modification and interface interactions

Scientific program
The scientific program will comprise:

• Invited speakers
• Poster presentation
• Short oral presentations
