Course description
In this lecture, students will understand the basic structure and physical properties of fibers and learn how to use natural fibers, mainly cellulose.

One way to use woody biomass is to use paper made from pulp fibers. In recent years, it has become possible to prepare cellulose nanofiber from pulp fiber as the most advanced nanomaterial. In this lecture, students will learn the concept of natural fiber material application through scientific knowledge of pulp fiber and paper. Students will also learn about the properties of nanomaterials derived from natural fibers. This lecture is a specialized subject, and is designed to acquire specialized knowledge on the use of woody biomass in the Functional Control of Natural Resources of this program.
Expected Learning
The learner efficiently can consider how to apply natural fiber to material by learning scientific knowledge about pulp, paper and cellulose nanofiber.
