9月29日，應輕工科學與工程學院（柔性電子學院）、科技處與前沿院邀請，加拿大湖首大學Pedram Fatehi教授做客我校“前沿科學報告”，作了題為“Progress in lignin nanoparticle production for advanced materials”的線上學術報告。本次報告會由輕工學院院長助理游翔宇主持，學院相關領域教師和研究生聆聽了此次報告會。

Pedram Fatehi教授簡要講述了木質素的產量豐富但利用方式相對單一的問題，并由此引出木質素納米粒子的多功能性、利用前景好的優點，詳細介紹了木質素納米顆粒的改性原理、制備方法以及應用領域的最新研究。

報告會后，Pedram Fatehi教授與參會師生就木質素來源、改性效果等相關專業問題進行了探討與解答。Pedram Fatehi教授的學術分享開闊了廣大師生的視野，使大家對木質素的功能化改性和高值化利用的重要性有了新的認識，也對相關領域的研究具有一定的啟發作用，使大家受益匪淺。此外，雙方還表達了希望開展進一步合作交流的愿望。
