Develop porous carbon nanofiber mats using lignin through electrospinning, followed by carbonization.Enhance the electrochemical performance of these mats by improving their packing density and conductivity.
The project aims to study the plasticisation of cellulose derivatives by water and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The project will use and develop scattering techniques and different mechanical, thermal and permeability characterisation techniques such as DMA/DMA+RH, DSC and oxygen permeability at different RH. The purpose is to better understand how cellulose derivatives interact with water as
This project aims to develop value-added lignin-derived materials and explore their potential in mitigating pollution from both emerging and regulated contaminants, including PFAS and other micropollutants. The target materials include lignin-derived carbons and biochars with tailored surfaces, modified lignins, lignin-based composites, and 3-D materials.

Cellulose films possesses favorable triboelectric properties otherwise only found in synthetic, oil-based polymer materials. This can open up entirely new possibilities within the area of internet-of-things (IoT), which is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades. Cheap and sustainable sensor devices based on renewable, self-electrified systems without the need of batteries, self-powered by insignificant
