New “world record” in tribo electricity
By using the phenomenon of triboelectricity, researchers have been able to utilize frictional forces between two cellulose surfaces to generate electricity. – No one has previously been able to show a similar result, which is why we, a little cocky perhaps, can call it a new “world record” for cellulose materials, says Renyun Zhang, associate […]
New advances in making plastic from lignin
Analyzes at the Petra III synchrotron at DESY have been crucial to the results. – What we have done at DESY is unique, says Marcus Jawerth, who did his PhD in the project Read more at kth.se (in Swedish) >> Want to know more about Marcus research? Watch the presentation from the defense here >> […]
Aerogels of nanocellulose purify water by the use of sunlight
The study was recently published in Advanced Sustainable Systems. – The rate of evaporation is four to five times higher than for direct evaporation, which means we can purify larger volumes of water, says Simone Fabiano, research leader in the field of organic nanoelectronics, the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping university.

Eva Malmström new director for WWWSC
The WWSC research center focuses on fundamental research to develop a foundation for a new generation of innovative wood-based materials and is a collaboration between KTH, Chalmers and Linköping University with funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the forest industry via Treesearch. – I want to build trust and confidence between the […]
Treesearch and WWSC is starting a virtual conference series
As more and more conferences are cancelled due to the corona pandemic, Treesearch and WWSC want to contribute to the open scientific conversation by starting a virtual conference series. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, researchers, doctoral students and postdocs will talk about their research in new material from the forest on Treesearch’s YouTube […]
Treesearch Research Infrastructure gives you access to instruments and expertise
By filling in a short application on treesearch.se, you as a researcher can quickly get started with advanced characterization of your samples with the help of the advanced instruments and expertise found within Treesearch. So far, over 100 applications have gotten support through Treesearch.se and the hope is that the number of applications will continue […]
From Pulping to Printing – A story of Treesearch Meet at Billingsfors
On the 30th of October 2019, the group of Printed and Paper Electronics (TPE) at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) and members from RISE went on a study visit to the Ahlstrom-Munksjö pulp and paper mill of Billingsfors. A three day visit to follow the process from collecting raw material from the forest to […]
