Material Physics
Materials physics forms the scientific foundation for next-generation technologies by linking atomic structure, microstructure and interfaces to macroscopic functionality.
Research Groups
We conduct research in Advanced Materials and Processes as well as Bio-based materials. Our research focuses partly on how to harvest and store energy. For example, by coating paper with new functional surfaces, it can be used in entirely new applications. Another focus is on developing wood-based materials and processes to enhance the sustainability and functionality of paper, fibers, and cellulose-based materials for new applications.
Fibre mechanics
We aim to form a new scientifically attractive research program on processing of pulp fibres. Our aim is to develop new R&D methods in order to acquire new knowledge about the fibre-level mechanism...
High Yield Pulping Technology
Research focused on raw material, process technology and new or improved products and qualities for forest and paperindustry. High yield pulp (HYP) is produced at a yield over 85% from different...
Material Processing
Materials processing translates materials science into engineered functionality by modifying, shaping and structuring materials through advanced processing routes that tailor composition,...
