Related research topics
The group of Wood Science and Wood Technology conducts research and education on wood materials and products.
The subject area includes topics such as wood anatomy, wood and pulp and non-wood fibre micro- and nanostructure including aspects of size distribution and processing, wood technological properties (i.e. mechanical, physical and chemical properties), cell wall biosynthesis (fibre biology), wood chemical modification and protection, fundamental studies on the mechanisms of wood biodegradation by the main decay groups, adhesion and adhesives technology, and technology of wood- and fibre-based products.
We are accredited by SWEDAC for laboratory and outdoor (field) testing of the durability of wood materials against biological decay and carry out testing for both industry and academia.
The group has close collaboration with wood, pulp, paper, packaging, construction, furniture, and other forest-based industries in Sweden and abroad.
