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 […]
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 […]

Circularity and Resource efficiency in the Processing Industry
The course will be structured around a seminar series given on-line by the industrial partners in the Resource Smart Processes, during the fall 2024 and spring 2025 (ending mid-March). Each seminar will be given by one of the industrial partner in the program elucidating one specific part of the value chain biomass-to-product and will be […]
Managing the Innovation Process from the Research Perspective
IPR Analysis will use various search engines and mapping tools to determine who owns intellectual property necessary for the practice of a new technology, and who is currently working on creating relevant IPR. Strategies for controlling IPR, locking-up necessary components, and keeping potential competitors at bay will be discussed. Market Analysis will distill a realistic […]
Radical Innovations: Processes and Practices in the Forest and Pulp and Paper Industry
This course focuses on the innovation process in the Forest/Pulp/Paper industry, tailored for PhD students. It starts with the Innovation management process adopted by Biomaterials, highlighting the Stage/Gate process, the role of the project management office, and the iterative nature of innovation. Participants will explore commercial aspects like value propositions and business models using tools […]
