Getting stuck in fens and falling in bogs, I do love @BangorSNS

Brilliant start this week for our new MRES KESS 2 scholarship working with #Wipak developing novel sustainable food packaging applications. Here is Jenny ready for her site tour all kitted out with her PPE! Bangor University

I've thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to attend my first conference to be able to expand my knowledge further in the area of bio-based coatings and their application methods

Last week I had the opportunity to present my first research poster to the UK Research and Innovation Research Council Bangor University and had some interesting discussions with Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser about my project proposals and why I chose to study at Bangor University

Excited to be attending my first packaging exhibition! BioComposites Centre

Have a look at this brand new case study featuring Jennifer researching bio-based polymers in collaboration with Wipak (UK) Ltd.

Such an informative few days in Heraklion at the Circul-a-bility COST training school! Explored the local sites and attended a series of lectures and workshops on sustainable packaging and circularity. I have learnt a great deal and made some great connections. Efcharistó Crete!🇬🇷

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting my research at the Circul-a-bility conference today!

Yesterday, we celebrated the achievements of the KESS programme and the postgraduate students it's supported the last 14 years. I was delighted to be awarded the sustainability award and I'd just like to thank the kess team, my supervisors, friends and family for their support!

Excited to be attending this UK Research and Innovation sustainable packaging workshop hosted by Innovate UK today alongside some of my BioComposites Centre colleagues from Bangor University!

Last week I attended a sustainable packaging workshop hosted by @IUK_KTN in Birmingham. It was a great day of discussions including topics on upscaling novel materials production and legislation. Lots of great connections made! Thank you to thestudio... for having us!

I also visited my partner company Wipak in Welshpool last week to catch up with my supervisor there. We had some insightful discussions about my project progress 1 year in and discussed exciting next steps for the next 2 years of my PhD. Looking forward to 2024!

I’ve recently been working on our new laser to cut out my bio-polymer coated paper samples for barrier testing! 🔬 The photos and video show the draftboard templates I used to hold my paper down and show the samples I've been cutting for moisture barrier testing! 👩‍🔬

Thoroughly enjoyed participating in #BangorScienceFestival today! I spent the day explaining contact angles and surface energies to eager future scientists and even dabbled in making paper for the first time! Great team effort from BioComposites Centre!

I thoroughly enjoyed attending this insightful event which broadened my knowledge about how the print and packaging world works! Thank you Dectek for being such great hosts!

Today I have been at our Centre's Pulp and Paper Lab running a series of tensile tests to determine the strength of my coated papers. Some very interesting results to analyse!

Exciting discussions with PlasmaFresh today! Learning how the surface of paper can be modified using plasma to improve its performance as a packaging material BioComposites Centre

Looking forward to taking part in the CoSE (College of Science and Engineering) PhD Conference at Bangor University this week where I will be presenting my second years work in a poster session! BioComposites Centre

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting with Simon Curling today at #transfire celebration event! Great discussions to be had and a lot great research that's happening!
