Dr. Paul Dornath is a Staff Scientist at Origin Materials, Inc. His research aims to craft high performance HTC derived from sustainable biomass for use as reinforcing filler in elastomer composites. This lecture will describe recent advances in lignocellulose derived HTC development and applications thereof in rubber and polymers. The absence of detectable PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and tunable surface chemistry in HTC could help product designers to meet demanding criteria. This new understanding can be used in various business sectors such as automotive, construction, specialty chemicals, textile and packaging among others.
