Research project 3D-printing of biobased filters functionalized with nanocellulose for water purification
The projects aims to develop 2D and 3D high flux monolithic water purification filters with gradient porosity, tortuous pathways and selective adsorption for water pollutants.
The overall project aims to develop new routes to process and produce filters by melt-based 3D printing. The active part in the filters will be based on nanocomposites having nanocellulose as a component, to elucidate how the porosity and surface chemistry can be tailored to provide high water flux, high separation efficiency, and long-term stability in wet environment.
