Nanocellulose & Biomaterials Group 

The Nanocellulose and Biomaterials Group has been led by Assist. Prof. Supachok Tanpichai at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok, Thailand. We focus on the preparation of nanocellulose and lignonanocellulose from agricultural wastes such as pinapple leaves, baggasse, water hyacinth and so on in mass production and add more value to leftover agricultural wastes which are easily found throughout the country, Thailand The use of these nanocellulose in various applications such as composites, optoelectronic, solar cells, packaging, paper and cosmetic and further development of materials from other biomaterials like chitin, chitosan, starch, gelatin are also our main interest to compete petroleum-based polymers.
