We have designed foams which are built only from green components and can be prepared in up-scalable and easy manner: blending and oven-drying. Amyloid nanofibrils are used mainly as a foaming agent and cellulose nanofibrils are playing the role of the main visco-elastic stabilizer. We also use covalent cross-linking to enhance foam resistance towards capillary […]

This project is focused on production and development of magnetic nanopaper with ferrimagnetic properties. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are used as a stiff and strong matrix of natural origin, while ferrimagnatic nanoparticles of SrFe12O19 are added to bring in the functionality. Nanopaper is prepared by spray coating technique which is simple to handle and to upscale.
Typically imaging of wood cells by 3D nanotomography is performed with the help of TEM or cryo TEM. To get a proper transmission signal, samples should be cut down to 100 nm thickness or even less. In this project we want to avoid extreme sectioning of wood pieces where observation area includes only a part

To develop and characterize filaments for advanced applications, i.e. green smart textiles or conductive fibers. Use a flow-focusing setup and cellulose nanofibers as a main material for preparation of filaments with high mechanical performance. To understand the fundamentals behind alignment and particle organization. To study impact of hydrolysis and delignification of wood chips on their structure
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.
