Simon Jonasson

I have expertise in materials made from biobased resources, such as cellulose, lignin and chitin with a focus on nanoscale materials and formulation aspects. Currently I work with barriers for new packaging materials which include formulation, application (coating or spraying) and understanding of resulting coating performance. Central aspects of my work pertains to replacing plastics with biobased alternatives with all associated opportunities and challenges.

I have a PhD in Materials science from Luleå University of Technology with a focus area on all-things nanocellulose from a composite and colloidal perspective. Additionally I have a Materials Chemistry M.Sc from Chalmers University of Technology with a focus area of nanocellulose-based emulsions and colloidal systems.
