Nanoselluloosasta edistyksellisiä vaahtomateriaaleja vedenpuhdistukseen, älypakkauksiin ja vihreään elektroniikkaan Uudessa väitöstyössä tutkittiin nanoselluloosaan perustuvia huokoisia vaahtomateriaaleja veden puhdistuksessa, älypakkauksissa ja langattoman tietoliikenteen sovelluksissa.

🍂 Last week we had our annual Autumn Seminar in Kalajoki second time in a row 🍂

This time the theme of the seminar was high quality research and how to get there. As always, hard work was balanced with fun activities. What a great way to start the rest of the year!

⭐ Congratulations Matias! ⭐
