Enzyme discovery and enzyme application on wood

Our project aims to identify enzymes that have the ability to increase the efficiency of the biorefinery process, designed for the production of biofuels, -chemicals, and -materials. Specifically, this project aims to find, characterize, and utilize, enzyme that attack specific bonds in the complex biomass structure, to increase the saccharification efficiency of cellulolytic enzyme cocktails

Sustainable added-value lignin materials for specific ions and molecules separation

Lignin is the second most abundant renewable resource from biomass, highly available in Sweden with large forest areas. The Project is aimed at the development of effective approaches for synthesis of new value-added materials from lignin. In the proposed Project the usage of different types of lignin is suggested for synthesis of novel lignin-based and

Biomassa från Salix för en biobaserad ekonomi

Målet med projektet är att studera alternativa användningsområden av biomassa från salix, t.ex. som råvara för produktion av biobränslen och av nya biokemikalier. Salix är en snabbväxande gröda med hög biomassaproduktion. För att förstå möjligheten att använda salix som råvara i olika processer behöver vi studera hela odlingssystemet hos salix inklusive både ovan- och underjordsprocesser.

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

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
