2025-09-02 Webinar Treesearch/FibRe webinar: Lars Berglund Professor Berglund research focuses on nanostructured composite materials, with a particular emphasis on cellulose-based systems. His recent research emphasizes the development of advanced, functional wood-based materials that promote sustainability and innovation in renewable resources. With over 200 peer-reviewed publications and more than 46,000 citations on Google Scholar (as of […]

2025-06-19 NEXTGEN Interview with Arvindh Seshadri Suresh Can you tell us a little about yourself? I come from the southern part of India, from a city called Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu. I lived in India till my undergraduate studies and moved to Sweden for my master’s in 2021. Some of my hobbies

2025-06-11 NEXTGEN Congratulations to Patric Elf On June 11th Patric Elf successfully defenced his thesis ”Prediction of Thermoplasticity in Lignocellulose-Based Materials using Molecular Simulation”. Below you can read the abstract and find the link to the thesis. With increasing interest for sustainably sourced and renewable materials, lignocellulose-based biopolymers are a natural candidate for such applications.

2025-06-10 Webinar Treesearch/FibRe webinar: Yoshiharu Nishiyama Dr Yoshiharu Nishiyama is specialized in fiber diffraction analysis and structure-property relations of cellulosic materials. He obtained his PhD from the University of Tokyo on Mercerization and structure analysis of cellulose in 2000 and continued as Assistant professor at the University of Tokyo. Since 2004 he is  CNRS scientist

2025-06-05 NEXTGEN Congratualtions to Åsa Jerlhagen On June 5th Åsa Jerlhagen successfully defenced her thesis ”Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles and Cellulose Nanofibrils”. Below you can read the abstract and find the link to the thesis. The need for sustainable, high-performance materials is growing rapidly as society moves away from fossil-based resources. This thesis explores how

2025-03-27 NEWS Lars Wågberg awarded the Anselme Payen Award At ACS Spring meeting 2025, on March 23-27, several FibRe-researchers presented their work: Anette Larsson (Chalmers), Eva Malmström Jonsson (KTH), Per Larsson (KTH) and Lars Wågberg (KTH). Lars was, during the meeting, awarded The Anselme Payen Award, honouring outstanding professional contributions to the science and chemical

2025-01-23 NEWS New method opens great possibilities for future material design Thanks to a new method, Rheo-PLI-SAXS, developed by a research group from Chalmers and the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund it is now possible to observe how hierarchical materials behave under flow conditions – at multiple length scales at once. This continuing work has
