Renewable polymers and Green Materials
Polymers derived from renewable resources and green materials are discussed from a scientific and commercial perspective, covering the entire span from established knowledge to future developments. The course curriculum includes structures and typical property profiles of common renewable polymeric materials, the effect of structural variations on the material performance, a commercial and scientific overview of […]
Crash Course in Wood Chemistry
Crash Course in Pulp & Paper Technology for non scientists
The products of the paper and pulp industry. Pulp manufacturing. Papermaking (forming, pressing, drying, post-drying operations, coating). The use of chemicals in papermaking. End-use and converting properties. Nanocellulose. Fundamental business aspects for the pulp and paper industry.
Economics in Pulp and Paper Making
The course is a post-gradual course. The objective is to increase the understanding of the interplay between economic and technology factors, and between different industrial sectors, in the forest-based value chains and biorefinery production. The course combines economic and management theory lectures with presentations of industrial cases by industry representatives. Driving forces behind the […]
