Professor Orlando Rojas is chair of the Materials Platform of Aalto University. He is the recipient of the 2018 Anselme Payen Award, one of the highest recognitions in the area of cellulose and renewable materials. He has been elected Fellow of the American Chemical Society and the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and is the recipient of the 2015 Tappi Nanotechnology Award. His most recent project grant includes a European Research Commission Advanced Grant (ERC-Advanced). He has published over 350 peer-reviewed papers related to the core research of his group, Bio-based Colloids and Materials, which mainly deals with nanostructures from renewable materials and their utilization in multiphase systems. He is a PI of the Materials Bioeconomy Flagship and co-PI of the Academy of Finland’s Center of Excellence in Molecular Engineering of Biosynthetic Hybrid Materials Research, HYBER (2014−2019).
Funding Information:
O.J.R. is thankful to the H2020 - ERC-2017-Advanced Grant BioELCell (788489) for funding support. We gratefully acknowledge the Academy of Finland through Center of Excellence of Molecular Engineering of Biosynthetic Hybrid Materials Research and the Finnish Flagship program under the cluster Aalto-VTT CERES Materials Bioeconomy.

N2 - The surface chemistry and adsorption behavior of submicrometer cellulosic and lignin particles have drawn wide-ranging interest in the scientific community. Here, we introduce their assembly at fluid/fluid interfaces in Pickering systems and discuss their role in reducing the oil/water interfacial tension, limiting flocculation and coalescence, and endowing given functional properties. We discuss the stabilization of multiphase systems by cellulosic and lignin colloids and the opportunities for their adoption. They can be used alone, as dual components, or in combination with amphiphilic molecules for the design of multiphase systems relevant to household products, paints, coatings, pharmaceutical, foodstuff, and cosmetic formulations. This invited feature article summarizes some of our work and that of colleagues to introduce the readers to this fascinating and topical area.
