21. Biochemical modification of wood components
Sammanfattning : The degradation of cellulose found in wood is one of the most important degradation processes for the carbon flux on earth. The degradation is performed by microorganisms that typically use enzymes. LÄS MER
22. Effectiveness and Evaluation of Wood Protection against Biological Deterioration Caused by Filamentous Fungi
Sammanfattning : Developing a holistic understanding of the biological deterioration of wooden material by fungi in the laboratory and outdoor conditions requires the development of new assessment procedures and tools that allow describing the process with maximum precision and accuracy. Environmental biodeterioration is a complex process including a combination of physical, chemical and biological changes, with many uncertainties limiting the predictability and effectiveness of selected preservatives after laboratory tests.

23. Antimicrobial materials from cellulose using environmentally friendly techniques
Sammanfattning : The transition to a more biobased society introduces both new opportunities and new challenges as we replace nonrenewable materials with renewable alternatives. One important challenge will be to control microbial growth on materials, both to protect the materials from biological degradation and to prevent the spread of infections and toxins that can cause illness.

24. Impact of drying and heat treatment on physical properties and durability of solid wood
Sammanfattning : During drying and heat treatment, wood is exposed to a hygrothermal process during which wood properties are chemically and physically affected, resulting in responses on a microscopic as well as on a macroscopic level. The main objective of this thesis is to build knowledge on the interaction between the wood material properties and the drying and heat treatment process in terms of material responses. LÄS MER
25. Mechanical Pulp Based Nano-ligno-cellulose : Production, Characterisation and their Effect on Paper Properties
Sammanfattning : Almost all research on biorefinery concepts are based on chemical pulping processes and ways of utilising lignin, hemicelluloses and extractives as well as a part of the remaining cellulose for production of nano materials in order to create more valuable products than today. Within the Forest as a Resource (FORE) research program at FSCN we are utilising the whole chain of unit processes from forestry to final products as paper and board, where the pulping process research focus on high yield process as TMP and CTMP.
