About
Per Tomas Larsson is a leading figure in the field of nanocellulose materials, with a particular focus on cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and their structural engineering. His research bridges fundamental polymer physics and applied materials science, exploring how the high structural anisotropy and colloidal stability of CNFs enable the creation of self-standing fibrillar hydrogel networks at remarkably low solid contents. Larsson’s major contributions include pioneering strategies to functionalize TEMPO-oxidized CNFs with methacrylate moieties, allowing for covalent crosslinking that yields more robust, tunable networks. His 2024 work on structure-property relationships of defined CNF single-networks crosslinked by telechelic PEGs has already garnered 8 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the design of next-generation soft materials. Beyond this, Larsson’s broader body of work has shaped our understanding of how nanoscale fibril organization dictates macroscopic mechanical performance, influencing applications in biomedical scaffolds, coatings, and sustainable composites. His achievements are recognized through numerous collaborations and invitations to speak at international conferences, cementing his reputation as a key innovator in nanocellulose research.
