3 NANOTEC researchers received a research fund from Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and National Research Council Thailand (NRCT) via the Strategic Basic Research Programme  (Fiscal year 2556, project will start on Aug 2556- Jul 2557).

Dr. Ubonthip Nimmannit, Dr. Kittiwut Kasemwong, and Dr. Apirada Sucontphunt.  The research program compose of 2 research projects; 1. An Economic Analysis of Worthiness on Sugarcane Wax Production as Carriers for Delivery System of Bioactive Compounds (Dr. Kittiwut will conduct a project as a Project Investigator). 2. Product Development of Nanostructure Lipid Carrier from Sugarcane Wax for Application in Sunscreen and Moisture Nail Lotion (Dr. Apirada will lead this project).

“The aim of this reesearch project is to use nanotechnology to add value to the Press Mud and change to the high-value nano-material for cosmetic industry and functional ingredients to nutraceutical products” said Dr. Ubonthip, Senior Researcher/Team Leader (Nano-cosmeceutical Lab) and Director of NANOTEC Development Unit.

Collaborators on this research include Kasetsart University, Thammasat University, Srinakharinwirot University and PTT Global Chemical Public Company.
