Latest Research

 

High Performance Industrial Materials

based on Nanocellulose

   The Project 

 Work Packages

The aim of the HIPERION project is the sustainable production of different types of nanocellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNF), nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), for the development of high performance nanoscale industrial materials. The structural components of lignocellulosic biomass will be converted to MFC, CNF and NCC through novel thermochemical and mechanical processes. Also, sugars will be recovered from lignocellulosic biomass and will be applied in novel fermentation processes for the production of BNC through bacterial cultures. In addition, the project will focus on the exploitation of renewable raw materials (side-streams of conventional industrial branches, plant / residual biomass, organic fraction of municipal waste) through the development of bio-refineries and the utilization of free sugars and hemicellulose hydrolyzate from different types of biomass. The structure of the produced nanocellulose will be studied extensively at microscopic and macroscopic scale in order to optimize its properties.

Work Packages
In summary, the most important research results of the project will be:

  • Targeted cultivation, recovery and processing of different types of biomass and conversion to various types of nanocellulose, following the concept of bio-refinery: the cellulose fraction will be converted to MFC, CNF and NCC, whereas that of hemicellulose to BNC.
  • Intensification of chemical, mechanical and biological (through innovative bioreactors) processes for the production of different types of nanocellulose. Further exploitation of the produced nanocellulose for the preparation of high performance nanocomposites.
  • Full characterization and evaluation of the properties of the nanocellulose samples and final nanocomposite products, based on the specifications of the selected applications.
  • Design and optimization of new value chains capable of delivering multiple products at competitive cost and significant environmental benefits.
  • Development of an integrated sustainability analysis software, including environmental measurements and technical / economic criteria, for the strategic planning of nanocellulose production technology and the adaptation to market fluctuations and environmental legislation.
  • Continuous and extensive exchange of knowledge and know-how among project partners.

Biomass Production Crops (Laboratory of Agronomy and Applied Crop Physiology).

The aim of the present research is to investigate lignocellulosic biomass production under different agricultural practices, using four internationally known plants with high lignocellulosic biomass production:

 

Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus),

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum),

Phalaris (Phalaris aquatica), and

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa).
