This project is part of the BioGlue Centre (https://www.slu.se/en/departments/forest-biomaterials-technology/bioglue-centre/), which is a co-operation between three universities and many industries aiming to have a better understanding around adhesives and bonding for wood materials in different sectors, such as furniture, construction, and packaging. This project investigates the interactions between cellulose and adhesives using surface-sensitive techniques to gain a fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena.
