Research
The main lines of the research program are the chemistry of cellulosic fibres, the chemistry of wood polysaccharides and delignification, recycling of fibers, the colloid chemistry of the wet end and the surface chemistry of coating colours. Research projects are mostly financed by governmental funds but there is an increasing industrial funding of fundamental research. To a limited extent, we also have undertaken some contract research, mainly in cases where we are available to offer unique equipment or experience.
