Collaborations

The Marie Curie Fellow Sara Dalle Vacche visited the Italian National Research Concil laboratory in Biella (Italy), where she was hosted by the group of dr. Claudio Tonin, member of the SB of ComBIOsites, and the LGP2 laboratory at Grenoble-INP university, where she was hosted by Prof. Julien Bras and by Dr. Davide Beneventi, who is member of the SB of ComBIOsites.

The aim of the visits was to prepare microfibrillated cellulose from Hemp. Chemical pretreatment of the raw fibers was done in Biella, while the subsequent microfibrillation of the obtained pulp was performed at LGP2.
