Unbleached Kraft fibers for CNF and thermoplastic biocomposites
Unbleached Kraft fibers have been used to prepare lignin-containing CNF with interesting characteristics. The fibers and fibrils will be used in thermoplastic biocomposites, and structure-property relationships will be investigated.
Nanocellulose-polysaccharide hydrogels
In this project we investigate the impact of nanocelluloses (CNC and CNF) on the structure and mechanical properties of polysaccharide hydrogels such as pectin and hemicelluloses for food and pharma applications.
Durable water-, oil- and soil repellent wood for outdoor applications via smart surface modification
Syftet med detta projekt är att förbättra hållbarheten utomhus av trä och biokompositmaterial för fasadmaterial samt utemöbler med hjälp av robust ytmodifiering som avvisar vatten, oljor och smuts. Vår nya idé bygger på användning av hållbara komponenter och skalbara processer. Vetenskapliga och tekniska mål är att formulera en halvtransparent beläggning för trä för att skydda […]
FORIC – Forest as a Resource Industrial Research College
FORIC (Forest as a resource industrial research college) is our industrial research school. Program manager is Prof. Per Engstrand. Coordinator for the research school is Dr. Olof Björkqvist. FORIC is financed by the Knowledge Foundation and a part of our research environment Transformative Technologies at Mid Sweden University. FORIC is a graduate school in close […]
Tunicap
The tunicap project aims to investigate how cellulose extracted from ocean living tunicates (swedish: sjöpungar) can be used in cellulose-based organic electronic components, especially supercapacitors. One of the project aims is comparison with forest-based cellulose and nanocellulose and understanding of the similarities and differences.

0-3D Production of power papers
In 0-3D, we explore process protocols and manufacturing techniques for products based on electro-functionalized cellulose and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) at large scale and volumes – Production of Power Papers. Bulky cellulose and CNF structures are excellent as the 3D scaffold for electro-active nanoparticles (0D), nano-fibers (1D) and coaxial coatings (2D) in order to scale-up high-performing […]
