Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for Polymer- and Forest-based materials

This course is designed to provide the background, fundamental concepts, and practical knowledge of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in its relation to polymer- and forest-based materials. Doctoral students of this course will learn from experts in the field, get hands-on experience preparing samples, operating various AFM imaging modes and analysing AFM data. Following this course […]

Regenerated Cellulose and Cellulose Derivatives

The aim of the course is that the students should aquire a broad overview of the dissolving pulp production and the market for cellulose derivatives and regenerated cellulose. The course covers cellulose structures in detail and the characteristics of dissolving pulps. Process technology for producing cellulose derivatives will then follow as well as for viscose […]
