Conducting cellulose fibres and yarns for circular electronic textiles

Conducting fibres and yarns are essential components of the next generation of wearable electronics that seamlessly integrate electronic function into one of the most versatile and most widely used form of materials: textiles. Necessary requirements are a high degree of wash and wear resistance. Traditionally, colouring of cotton, viscose and lyocell fibres is done with […]

Recyclable and Creep Resistant Polyethylene – through Transient Cellulose Networks

Plastics enhance almost every aspect of human life from food consumption to medical care and even energy production. However, the often superficial use of plastics means that a large fraction of this versatile class of materials is not recycled but, instead, burned for energy recovery, buried as waste in landfills, or worst case simply discarded

Lignin nanoparticles

The project is aimed for development and functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs) based on technical lignins. Due to natural origin of lignin and good biocompatibility, lignin NPs (LigNPs) can find application as targeted drug delivery vehicles for future implementation in biomedicine. Within the scope of this project, we aim to develop novel multifunctional lignin nanoparticles from

Development of advanced methods for investigation and counteracting of membrane fouling during recovery of extracted wood components in biorefinery applications

This project aims to develop and use advanced characterisation methods to investigate how process parameters can be utilised to decrease the effect of surface fouling during separation for recovery of high molecule weight hemicelluloses in biorefinery applications. Characteristics of formed fouling layers that are difficult to measure: thickness as well as cohesive and adhesive strength,

Biocomposites from fibres and nanocellulose

The project is a post-doc project within WWSC 2.0 The engineering aim brought forward in the project is to produce composities by using chemically modified fibres and nanocellulose and use these as reinforcing-structural elements in a polymer matrix. The resulting composites material must be manufactured with conventional, possible slightly modified, polymer processing techniques in order

The effect of compaction parameters on the properties of high-deformable paper

This project addresses the challenges of producing high-deformable paper for 3D forming applications using the in-plane compaction process. Enabling 3D forming of advanced paper structures paves the way for complete elimination of plastic based packaging or partial replacement of plastic in multi-material packages, which aligns with current international strategies for a sustainable development of the

Composite of lignin derivatives and conducting polymers for electro-capturing of toxic heavy metals

Among the 100% water on planet earth, less than 1% is liquid fresh water and about 0.0025% is available fresh water for drinking, food and industries. More than 90% of the fresh water is utilized for agriculture and industries. Pollution of water is thus an increasingly important problem. One of the most challenging depollution process

4D characterisation of paperboard mechanics

The project involves the development of new experimental methods to characterize deformation processes in fiber-based materials, in particular paperboard. The experiments are to be performed on several scales, from micro to macro, and aim to increase understanding of the mechanisms that control the mechanical properties and behaviour of the material. Experimental devices that can be
