The current application aims at facilitating a substantial increase in the content of renewable lignocellulosic fibers in fiber reinforced wood fiber polymer composites (WFPL). The target is to enable production of WFPL’s with a fiber content >> 60%. For the forest based industries, this will create new market segments within construction, automotive and industrial goods,

Design, scale-up and optimisation of flow systems for production of nanostructured assemblies is critical if the potential of many nanotechnologies is to be realised. Computer simulations of the flow and material structure will, of course, play an important role in this work. However, the behaviour of nanoscale building blocks (such as nanofibrils) cannot be simulated

With the ForMAX Portal we aim to establish a platform at MAX IV that will contribute to the development of the forest industry with respect to knowledge, competence and competitiveness. The forest industry has been a cornerstone in Swedish economy during the last century. Presently the global competition regarding packaging paper grades and a general

Övergången ifrån petroleumbaserade kemiska processer till “grön kemi” processer baserade på förnybara råvaror ger betydande miljömässiga fördelar och är ett måste för att upprätthålla ekonomisk tillväxt i framtiden. En relativt färsk analys som initierades av European Climate Foundation, ECF, har visat ett antal möjliga vägar till ett hållbart Europa med minskat beroende av fossilt kol
The aim of the project is to develop knowledge on how to modify paper manufacturing and pulp manufacturing process to produce fossil-free functional packaging materials. Use of plastic constitutes an increasing threat to our nature and future. Plastic materials are a big environmental hazard. Large amounts end up in the oceans where the plastic decomposes

The project is on composites that comprise dominantly wood-based components. Fundamental endeavors are on orientation of cellulose nanomaterials and fibers in films. This is mediated via flow and shear. Cellulose body interactions are tuned by tuning particle surface characteristics. Rheology, crystallinity, strength and barrier performance are used to assess the products and the process. (part

Today, there is an urge to meet the increased textile consumption by wood- and recycled cellulose textiles, based on new sustainable dissolution concepts for cellulose. Still, there are only few solvents capable of dissolving the intricate cellulose structure while being environmentally friendly and industrially viable. One of them, experiencing a renewed interest is undoubtedly cold
In 0-3D, we explore process protocols and manufacturing techniques for products based on electro-functionalized cellulose and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) at large scale and volumes – Production of Power Papers. Bulky cellulose and CNF structures are excellent as the 3D scaffold for electro-active nanoparticles (0D), nano-fibers (1D) and coaxial coatings (2D) in order to scale-up high-performing
