Toward this goal, we will use cellulose microfibrils (MFCs) obtained from the parental macro-sized cellulose as a residue or waste of the agri-food industry or as a scrap of the manufacturing process of cellulosic materials at industrial level. MFCs will be used both as additive of the main cellulosic network or as a filler of a biocomposite coating deposited on the surface of the cellulosic substrate. The proposed project can represent a step forward for the generation of a new class of cellulosic materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Project keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Food Packaging, cellulose, bioplastics, circular economy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Department of Food, Environmental and Nutritional Sciences \u2013 DeFENS<\/p>\n<p>Via Celoria, 2 \u2013 20133 Milan (MI)<\/p>\n<p>E-mail: tommaso.bellesia@unimi.it<\/p>\n<p>Phone: +39 02503 16654<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaborations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prof. Diego Romano \u2013 UNIMI\/DeFENS \u2013 Bioprocess and Biocatalysis Division<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Fellowship sponsor<\/em>: Programma Operativo Nazionale \u201cRicerca e Innovazione\u201d 2014-2020 \u2013 Action IV.5 \u201cDoctorates on green topics\u201d (PON);\u00a0Fedrigoni S.p.A.<\/p>\n<p><em>Project sponsor<\/em>: Fedrigoni S.p.A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD Student:\u00a0 Tommaso Bellesia (ORCID n.\u00a00000-0002-1530-765X) Supervisor: Stefano Farris &#8211; PackLab Dean: Prof. Diego Mora PhD title achieved on: 3rd March 2025 Research area:\u00a0Food Science and Nutrition Research topic Active and intelligent coating systems for sustainable food packaging materials \u00a0 Project Synopsis In this project proposal, we will focus on the development of a new &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[93,59],"tags":[247,161,248,160],"class_list":{"0":"post-2644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-phd-student-profile","9":"tag-bioplastics","10":"tag-cellulose","11":"tag-circular-economy","12":"tag-food-packaging","13":"anons"},"modified_by":"admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2644"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3923,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2644\/revisions\/3923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unimi.it\/foodsystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
