This course gives an introduction to biorefineries, with the main focus on the wood-based materials biorefinery. What is a wood-based materials biorefinery and why do we need this type? The starting point of this course is the physical and chemical structure of the wood, including methods for chemical characterization. This will be followed with various

Packaging will be presented and discussed from the performance perspective, in certain applications with a focus on food stuffs, including product safety (especially materials and barriers perspective), economics (systems perspective), communications and marketing, logistics, design and sustainability. Materials used in packaging, and some of the converting processes, will be covered, such as glass, metals, polymers
WWSC winter school 2020 will be held via streaming due to the Covid-19 outbreak. WWSC Academy are courses that contain lectures, study visits and group work on specific topics for 3 – 4 days and are arranged by WWSC twice a year. The courses are open to all Treesearch doctoral students. The maximum number of participants

There is a wide class of materials where a fiber network is the main load-carrying component. This class encompasses paper, paperboard, tissue and many biopolymers. These materials are known to have outstanding stiffness-to-mass ratio which is one of the reasons they are so abandon in nature. We will study this class of materials by considering

The course will be similar to the course given 2019 and course details will be updated. The course will give the students a broad overview of the global dissolving pulp capacities and the market for cellulose derivatives and regenerated cellulose. The students will get a deep insight into the characteristics of dissolving pulps. The cellulose

The course will give an overview of an emerging industry aiming at better utilisation of biomass into both a broader spectrum of new chemicals, materials and composites as well as more efficient energy use and production of energy carriers. Focus is on the forest related sector but it also has some relevance for the agro
Treesearch har som syfte att skapa en nationell plattform för att stödja forskning. Forskningsprojekt som bedrivs inom Treesearch forskningsområden och de forskare som är aktiva i dessa projekt är välkomna att ansluta till plattformen.
