My research focuses on the use of sugar beet pulp (SBP), an industrial by-product from the sugar industry, to produce novel biocomposite materials. The work covers 3 key areas – the treatments used on SBP to produce nanocellulose materials, how cellulose is affected by these treatments, and finally the mechanism by which cellulose is reacting to form these new materials.
Research funding: UofE SBS CASE Studentship and Cellucomp (Oct 2018 – Present)
