From fundamental research to pilot scale – the material that can replace polystyrene foam

Collaboration, Research, WWSC /

Professor Lars Wågberg tells kth.se about the first steps and the research that led to a foam material, by then made of nanocellulose. The first steps were a doctoral thesis within the research center Wallenberg Wood Science Center and in 2012, doctoral student Nicholas Cervin was able to present his thesis. – It turned out

Article in Forskning & Framsteg highlights new materials from wood

Research, WWSC /

The transparent wood is an example that the magazine Forskning & Framsteg brings up. The picture is taken in a different context. The article focuses on the expression “Everything that is made of oil can be made of forest” and then shows exciting examples of both research and development projects. Participating in the article are

Progress in making paper for energy storage

Research /

Digital Cellulose Center is a Vinnova competence center which includes Linköping University, KTH, RISE. An article in  Ny Teknik, a weekly Swedish magazine in the field of technology and engineering, now highlights the centre’s recent successes in producing electronically conductive paper on a pilot scale. The electrical properties are obtained by using conductive polymers and

Aerogels of nanocellulose is an extremely leightweight type of material. The photo shows an aerogel on a part of a flower.

Nanocellulose aerogels for future biomedical applications

Research /

Nanocellulose aerogels are a relatively new type of lightweight material where around 99% of the material consists of air. Research has shown the potential for nanocellulose arogels, among other things, for high-performance insulation and purification of water, but the process of making them has required special equipment such as shock freezing with liquid nitrogen followed

Research on materials from the forest on IVA’s 100 list 2021

Research /

This year’s Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) 100 list focuses on crisis preparedness and society’s ability to handle crises. Of the 51 listed projects, two projects use the forest as a raw material: Fully green energy harvester, Mid Sweden University. The project uses cellulose-based materials to manufacture triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) that can store energy from

Next generation transparent wood is here – 100% biobased

Research, WWSC /

Much has happened since the first publication on the transparent wood; a bio composite that combines transparent properties with the strength of wood. Since 2016 the material has been given special properties such as thermo-regulation and other intelligent properties. Now a new milestone has been reached: fully bio-based transparent wood, made with green chemistry. – We

conductive cellulose yarn is used in a sewing machine

Electronically conductive cellulose-yarn developed by WWSC researchers

Chalmers, Research, WWSC /

The yarns were produced by a roll-to-roll coating process with an ink based on the biocompatible PEDOT:PSS and could be used in a household sewing machine. The findings were recently published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. “This cellulose thread could lead to garments with built-in electronic, smart functions, made from non-toxic, renewable and natural materials,”
