Non Technical Summary
Economic, environmental and political concerns on the uses of energy and products based fossils have driven an increased interest in bio-based fuel and bio-products. The abundant forest and agriculture residues from marginal agricultural and degraded forest lands in the Great Lakes States region offer the potential of using agriculture and forest residues as feed stocks that address these issues. In addition, the usage of carbon neutral biomass residues will contribute in mitigating climate change and generate extra income to farmers and rural economics. Information on the biological, physical, mechanical and chemical properties of different types of lignocellulosic biomass and their commercial production are paramount in achieving this objective.

Outputs
Target Audience: Forest and agriculture industries Packaging Industries Wood industries Pulp and paper industries Packaging Industries Changes/Problems:The major finding during this period is that hemicellulose from hardwood species such as poplar can be combined with metals such as Nickel, and/or copper and used in the field of electrochemistry as a sensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide and in the manufacture of super-capacitor as evidenced by the initial 6 peer-reviewed published papersin the field of energy and fuels. We will continue to focus on the development of new high values products from forest and agricultureresidues to generate more interest and funding to maintain and manage of natural ecosystem and satisfy our rural community. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Ae student who was working on the making of flexiblefilms from chitosan and hemicellulose graduated and got a job in a packaging division of the USA army to work on the use of some wood components for the manufacture of flexible bioavailable and degradable food packaging.Another student working on the physical properties of the hemicellulose-based flexible film made using hemicelluloses such as xylan or galactan graduated with a Ph.D. and got a job as a university professor in the field of flexible biodegradable starches based films How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Several papers were published in peer-review journals in the area of electrochemistry and flexible film-based packaging containing essential oils to enhance their antibacterial properties in the journal of packaging food products, fuel and energies, and molecular biology. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Inthe future, understanding the impact of the addition or incorporation of biodegradable bioavailable hemicellulose on the properties of flexible films used in food packagingin the next 3 years.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Hemicellulose isolated from wood poplar was used to reinforce Chitosan-based films and supercapacitors in the design of Metal-OrganicFrameworks(MOF) for high-performance super capacitance and enzymeless hydrogen peroxide detector/sensor. Silver, copper, and titanic oxide well known for their antibacterial properties in the construction industry are under investigation for their potential antibacterial on paper and paper board based packaging. If effective, such treatment will help prevent the growth of some bacteria on paper-based products located on retail shops and distribution shelves.

Target Audience:Packaging Industry, Forest land owner, Forest Products Industry, agriculture engineering Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?A graduation student was trained on the laboratory making of flexible film from biopolymers and the testing protocoles to evaluate their properties How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The findings were published in a peer reviewed journal of food packaging and included in lectures on packaging using biobased polymers from wood and agriculture residues to improve sustainability What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?How to improve the barrier properties of the biobased films, mainly water resitance by using milk proteins and lipids and also the potential use of a.aluminum oxide as an antioxidant b. cerrium nitrate to contrl photodegradation.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? A biodegradablecomposite film made of chitosan xyan and carvacrol has been developed for food packaging application. Only 0.5 %v/v concentration acidic acid (at least 50% less than previous studies) showed to be sufficient to dissolve chitosan. As high concentrations of acidic acid can be harmful to plants, animals, and aquatic life, therefore our finding is more eco-friendly compared to chitosan-based films. Mechanical properties,Thermal analysis, and Antibacterial activity analysis have been investigated in this study. The film possesses high flexibility/toughness which satisfy the packaging requirements. Rubberwood from India was successfully treated with micronized copper to enhance the biological durability and extend their service life.
