Structural characterization of cellulose and wood using electron microscopy and elecron diffraction

Cellulose is an essential constituent in the architecture of plants, where it contributes with extraordinary properties in terms of strength and stiffness. The aim of this project is to enable the development of new materials based on wood and cellulose, through the generation of new understanding regarding its structure all the way from the meso-scale down to the atomic length scales using state-of-the-art methods available in the electron microscope.
