Appointment at FinnCERES materials bioeconomy Flagship
Joanna Witos has been appointed Academic Coordinator at Aalto CHEM.
Building with wood is a climate-friendly option – the Wood Wonders exhibition provides five interesting viewpoints on construction
Forest wood used in buildings can bind carbon for centuries. Wood is a strong and versatile building material that improves indoor air quality, reduces the need for heating and air conditioning – and provides pleasure.
Crab-shell and seaweed compounds spin into yarns for sustainable and functional materials
Biobased fibres are made from two renewable marine resources and with promise in advanced applications, in wovens and medical materials, among others. The threads draw strength from the crab chitin component and flexibility from seaweed alginate.
Growing demand for climate-friendly construction: could wood architecture become one of Finland’s exports?
The Wood Wonders exhibition to be opened at Helsinki Airport on the 5th of February will show passengers the innovations related to wood construction and display the sector’s latest developments.
Jaana Vapaavuori and Kati Miettunen receive significant funding for developing new composite biomaterials
Four million euros of funding has been granted to research supporting the forest industry and forestry sector in Finland and Sweden.
Albedo matters for the climate and forestry can have an impact on it
A research project conducted by Aalto University found that favoring broadleaved species in boreal forestry is a climate-friendly option when considering the forest albedo. Therefore, forest management actions can directly affect forest albedo, and hence the climate, without decreasing forest productivity.
Developing individualised biomaterials for medical treatment
New types of biological mesh can also be used in treating gynaecological prolapses, hernias and urinary incontinence.
Wood-based yarn captures hormones from wastewater
Hormones and other pharmaceuticals ending up in bodies from natural waters are a globally significant environmental problem.
A teeny-weeny sensor with an enormous task
A sensor just a few thousandths of a millimetre across can inform physicians of the effectiveness of treatment.
Aalto University presents six concepts on renewable biomaterials at Dutch Design Week
CHEMARTS exhibition showcases fascinating recyclable prototypes which are toxic-free, recyclable and don't release micro-plastics.
A new, natural wax coating makes garments water-resistant and breathable
Aalto University researchers have made a non-toxic coating solution with wax obtained from Brazilian palm tree leaves.
Spider silk is created by adding spider DNA to microbes
Researchers studying spiders have produced a synthetic biomaterial that can, in future, be used to make a multitude of products from clothes to car parts.
A combination of wood fibres and spider silk could rival plastic
The unique material outperforms most of today’s synthetic and natural materials by providing high strength and stiffness, combined with increased toughness
Professor Patrick Gane receives the prestigious Georg-Jayme Medal
Professor Gane was awarded for his achievements in paper printing and novel pulp applications.
New biomaterials and their market potential are at the centre of interest in the United States
