Cutting-edge advancements and studies in biomaterials have resulted in a wider range of consumer goods, including intelligent nonwoven packaging. The paper, packaging, and tissue sectors now represent major industries, particularly in North Carolina, which hosts 40% of the U.S. nonwovens market. This state boasts the highest concentration of nonwoven manufacturers, end-users, and suppliers nationwide. For those passionate about paper, packaging, and tissue products, North Carolina is the ideal location. With increasing attention on this sector, paper, packaging, and tissue innovations are poised to influence virtually every facet of global daily living. Our faculty members consistently explore new frontiers in this rapidly growing field, working on diverse initiatives ranging from printed electronics to personal care items. Research highlights include novel applications for banana stem fibers in absorption systems, soy protein solutions for sticky residue management, and recycling methods for wax-coated paper. Additionally, our department has pioneered important discoveries regarding surface charge behavior, enzyme impacts, polymer additive functions in production, and colloidal chemistry principles within paper manufacturing.
