加拿大湖首大学Pedram Fatehi 教授做客我校“前沿科学报告”

9月29日，应轻工科学与工程学院（柔性电子学院）、科技处与前沿院邀请，加拿大湖首大学Pedram Fatehi教授做客我校“前沿科学报告”，作了题为“Progress in lignin nanoparticle production for advanced materials”的线上学术报告。本次报告会由轻工学院院长助理游翔宇主持，学院相关领域教师和研究生聆听了此次报告会。

Pedram Fatehi教授简要讲述了木质素的产量丰富但利用方式相对单一的问题，并由此引出木质素纳米粒子的多功能性、利用前景好的优点，详细介绍了木质素纳米颗粒的改性原理、制备方法以及应用领域的最新研究。

报告会后，Pedram Fatehi教授与参会师生就木质素来源、改性效果等相关专业问题进行了探讨与解答。Pedram Fatehi教授的学术分享开阔了广大师生的视野，使大家对木质素的功能化改性和高值化利用的重要性有了新的认识，也对相关领域的研究具有一定的启发作用，使大家受益匪浅。此外，双方还表达了希望开展进一步合作交流的愿望。
