More about the project
This project envisages modifying the green graphene to improve the rheological properties, enhance the production speed and bonding quality of bioadhesive, derived as a by-product of biorefinery, and deliver the most renewable adhesive systems for wood composite panel manufacturing.
The project is built upon an ongoing collaboration between the research group Forest Products at Linnaeus University, IKEA and Södra. It is also in line with IKEA’s 2030 vision and Sweden's Climate Act and Climate Policy for reducing the CO2 footprint by being less dependent on fossil-based materials.
The project is also part of the research in the Linnaeus Knowledge Environments Advanced Materials and Green Sustainable Development.
