ALCEMISTs at a Workshop on Cellulose Nanocrystals

Earlier this week, some of the ALCEMISTs from NOVA and the University of Luxembourg got the chance to attend a workshop on at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Self-Assembly in Golm (near Potsdam)! Hosted by Prof. Silvia Vignolini of the Department of Sustainable and Bio-Inspired Materials, this workshop looked at how cellulose nanocrystals can form liquid crystalline structures and some of their possible applications. Jan and Lena presented talks for the occasion, and Amina and Luís also joined and participated in the discussions.
