Research
Our main research area focuses on the development of cellulose nanocomposites with improved performance and new functionality. We collaborate with an interdisciplinary group of researchers that provide unique expertise in chemistry, material and chemical engineering.
Cellulose Nanofibre Materials
Learn more about the production and application of nanocellulose from our research.
Linting in the offset printing of newsprint
Our research investigates the dynamics of lint migration during offset printing, to understand how it relates to the paper properties and press variables.
Paper Structure and Mechanical Properties
We are interested in the study of paper structure, particularly the fibres, the inter-fibre bond and the sheet geometry.
Zero Span Strength
Learn more about how we develop a technique to obtain more information from the zero-span test by measuring displacement.
Low Consistency Refining
This collaborative research is looking at the process of fibre trapping to understand how it influences the refining efficiency.
Low cost Zeolite adsorbents
We explore the use of papermaking techniques to create zeolite laminate structured adsorbent.
