About Objectives Results Dissemination Team Contact

The project main objectives focus on the development of sustainable high performance formulations via Pickering emulsion polymerization using as stabilizers cellulose nanocrystals and lignin with possible application for coatings; providing the scientific-based framework and knowledge for enhanced surface modification of wood and wood-derived products towards fulfilment of higher technical, economic and environmental standards; improvement the professional career of both, project leader and its team, and developing the ability of the project leader to form and maintain a core group of young researchers.


Scientific specific objectives of the project are:
(O1) Synthesis of sustainable high-performance formulations;
(O2) Morphological and structural characterisation of the new obtained materials;
(O3) Preparation of different wood and cellulosic substrates;
(O4) Evaluation of the possible interactions/ compatibility between the wood / cellulosic substrate and polymeric structure of the coatings.
(O5) Evaluation of the performance and durability of the obtained products
(O6) Dissemination of the project results

Technical specific objectives:

(i) project leader will co-ordinate and monitor the progress of the project implementation in accordance with the working plan;

(ii) project leader together with the team will ensure the correct performance of the work and the maintenance of all relationships;

(iii) to promote the Romanian research on European and world level.
