Pickering emulsions stabilized from biomass nanoparticles – BIOPICK
The BIOPICK project proposes to develop new uses of particles from the wood to at the micro - and nanoscale to obtain particles with
properties to stabilize the water/oil interfaces in water in oil, oil in water et multiple emulsions. The wood will provide a model. It is a
challenge which will include new and/or more high value-added applications. This project aims at replacing surfactants which are
usually released in the environment, by particles themselves from the biodegradable biomass. It comes here to initiate a global
chain more respectful of the environment. BIOPICK also proposes to assess the environmental impact of the project simultaneously
to its implementation. In addition to the scientific and technological criteria, this assessment may influence the choice of particles.
