Offer Description
Main thesis topic: Development of absorbent and waterproof sheets made from lignocellulosic fibres for the design of 100% biobased and biodegradable sanitary towels.
The NAPKINS project aims at demonstrating the proof of concept that 100% bio-based, biodegradable, and low-cost sanitary pads can be obtained through simple processes using resources derived from plant biomass. To achieve this, the objective of the project is to design,
from high- content ligning cellulosic fibers, three different layers with suitable structures and properties, and to
assemble them to create a sanitary pad.
In this context, the main objectives of the PhD are:
• To develop a soft, absorbent, antimicrobial, and stretchable top layer, inspired by paper-making processes.
• To develop a dense, waterproof, and stretchable bottom layer, also inspired by paper-making processes and simple converting operations.
• To find an effective and environmental friendly solution to assemble the layers into a sanitary pad using a sealing process and/or a bio-based adhesive.
