PhD project: Sustainable fibrillation of wood for use as reinforcement in biocomposite

Supervisor: Kristiina Oksman

Dissertation planned to: 2026

Research area:

The research area is focused on developing energy-efficient methods for the fibrillation of wood. Fibrillation will be carried out through the extrusion process using twin-screw extruders, followed by compounding the fibrillated fibers with a suitable matrix to develop biocomposites in a one-step process.

Research theme: 4-material concepts
