Based on our many years of transparent wood composite development with Prof. Lars Berglund from WWSC we are continuing towards wood material property control for low scattering optical composites. Project includes material preparation and advanced optical characterization, including time-resolved measurements with ps resolution.

The project focuses on the drying process for cellulose-based insulation materials used in large power transformers. It is critical that the insulation material is dry for the reliable operation and long life of the transformer. The material is, however, inherently difficult to dry and the drying process is complex and has mostly arisen from empirical

This project focuses on the chemical modification of lignin to impart antibacterial and flame-retardant properties. By leveraging the advantages of nanoscale structuring, the modified lignin nanoparticles are expected to act as efficient emulsifiers in oil–water systems. Ultimately, this approach aims to generate a multifunctional, lignin-derived material from a waste resource.
The aim of the project is to develop methods for the preservation of hemicelluloses from biomass and their enzymatic modification towards the development of bio-based fiber materials, such as highly strong nanosheets for potential biomedical applications.
