Jeffrey P. Youngblood works on materials made from natural and engineered polymers, especially cellulose nanomaterials (tiny fibers and crystals derived from wood or plants), and how these can be used to build more sustainable products. His work spans applications like sustainable food packaging, coatings, construction materials such as concrete and asphalt, water treatment, and biosensors. Much of the research focuses on improving material performance (strength, water resistance, gas barrier properties) while replacing less sustainable ingredients.
