My work mainly focus on processing and characterization of lignin material, and to some extent other biobased materials such as cellulose, nanocellulose and biocomposites. Processing includes extraction (not LignoBoost), fractionation (rotary evaporation), extrusion (fiber spinning), heat and vacuum treatment, carbonization.
Regarding characterization I'm responsible for thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) och differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)) of lignin. I also perform rheological/rheology measurements, particle size distribution measurements (laser diffraction (LD) and dynamic light scattering (DLS)), microscopy (light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)) and fiber tensile testing.
