Welcome on the SMARTPOP website
This website provides information and updates relating to the SMART POP research Project. The project, funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant from Horizon 2020, involves INRAe with Dr Claire Mayer-Laigle as the main scientific investigator and the staffs SCION of SCION in New Zealand. The aim of the project is to investigates how the comminution of plant materials can reveal emerging functionalities that can be exploited in highly technical applications like smart materials produced using additive manufacturing.
