Georgia Tech professor Kyriaki Kalaitzidou was among nine recipients September 18 of project funding from the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities (Endowment) to advance the commercialization of Cellulosic Nanomaterials (CN). Dr. Kalaitzidou, working with Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation, will develop “cellulose nanomaterials in sheet moulding compounds (SMC) for high-volume automotive applications.” The projects are being funded through P3Nano, a public-private partnership founded by the Endowment and the USDA Forest Service (USFS) with federal matching funds from the Forest Service’s State and Private Forestry and Research and Development branches with the USFS Forest Products Laboratory. The initial projects total more than $3 million in partnership funding
