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.
SUSBICO project combines two strong research expertise areas: biomass-derived material development in Oulu (University of Oulu is the project coordinator) and composite research in Luleå (Luleå University of Technology is a project partner). The main goal of the bilateral project is to develop novel green polyester resins that have competitive or better materials properties compared

The aim of the project is to promote knowledge, networking and joint-actions in cross-border research and innovation, and industrial activities related to sustainable electronic materials, components and applications by combining unique regional expertise of Oulu Univeristy , Luleå University of Technology and various northern companies. Especially, the project will focus on i) Providing knowledge on
Norway spruce branch wood is often chipped and used as forest fuel. To promote a better value chain for this byproduct, extensive material characterization is necessary. Using microscopic X-ray Computed Tomography and elastic image registration allows to investigate the hygroexpansion strains of branch wood.

This project is about development of novel wound dressing materials and we are making cellulose nanofiber hydrogels from wood as raw material.
The project work focuses on the development of functional nanostructured carbon material with large specific surface area and derived from sustainable materials, mainly lignin. Approaches such as electrospinning, freeze-casting as well as 3D printing can be involved. The possible applications of the carbon material can be electrodes in high-performance energy storage devices, for example, supercapacitors.
