Cellulose-based organic solar cells via spray deposition

In this project, we use spray deposition to fabricate cellulose-based, flexible organic solar cells. We use TEMPO-cellulose nanofibrils (TEMPO-CNF) as sustainable substrate material, flexible silver- or copper-nanowires (AgNW-/CuNW) as electrode material, conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as electron blocking layer, and a mixture of poly(3 hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methylester (PCBM) as …

New materials from Lignin

The goal of my project is creating new materials deriving from Lignin, in order to substitute materials deriving from petroleum.

New functional materials based on polysaccharides

The project is on preparing novel types of polysaccharide based materials with new functionalities. The focus is on  building materials with unique structures, understanding the on structure-property relationship, and then modifying the structures in a controlled way so that the materials can be utilized in a specific application. 

The use of bio-polymers in micro fluidic devices for biomedical applications

By combining the knowledge in the field of surface modification with bio-polymers such as cellulose with the knowledge in microfluidic devices for biomedical applications. We foresee a huge potential in creating new useful devices for future increased health. During the recent decade cellulose in the form of different types of nano cellulose have attracted a …
