Wide wood related expertiseDegree programmes at TUT Architecture AutomationBiotechnologyCivil Engineering Communications and ElectronicsElectrical EngineeringEnvironmental and Energy TechnologyFibre, Textile and Clothing Science Industrial Engineering and Management Information and Knowledge ManagementInformation Technology Materials Engineering Mechanical Engineering Science and Engineering

  3. Wood related capabilities atTUT Plastics and Elastomer Laboratory • Wood/Plastic compounds • Production and testing of W/P compounds • Wood added as powder, fiber, paper • Structural and Rheological properties • Coating of Wood • Laboratory scale extrusion coating • Adhesion of coating material to wood • Properties of coated material • Wood/Plastic Adhesion • Determination and improvement of adhesion • Novel Wood Materials • Produced with wood components by plastic production means • Behaves ~like plastic in use, and like wood in nature

  4. Sustainable Utilization of Wood as Naturally Renewable Raw Material • Wood as such • Improved utilization of varying properties of wood • Using wood where its properties are best utilized – RFID (EU FP6) • Breeding and genetic manipulation • Enhanced Wood products • Physical and chemical modification of wood • Novel wood based materials and products • Molecules, structures and materials with improved properties • Wasted wood, newspaper as a raw material • Industrial utilization of ligninNovel Lignin Products • Use wood whenever possible to replace oil and oil based products! • F orest is a source of a wide range of renewable organic materials • The longer the lignin circle, the more wood like the effect on the nature TUT Plastics 30.1.07 / Kari Kolppo Page 4/5
