INVITATION - KUTSU Welcome to VTT's afternoon seminar 20th of January 2011 - Tervetuloa VTT:n iltapäiväkahviseminaariin 20.1.2011 New life of print - Printin uusi elämä New business from virtual reality in addition to traditional publishingVirtuaa...
Lignins are biopolymers that may be converted into functional materials by enzymatic treatments by oxidizing the phenolic groups into radicals. These radicals are extremely reactive and may couple with other reactant radicals....
Lignin and related aromatic compounds provide an important source of raw material that may be converted into value-added products by combining chemical and enzymatic modification methods. The aim of the present study was to reveal the potential of la...
LGF pulping process uses phosphinic acid as a catalyst in delignification of lignocellulosic material carried out in selected organic solvent. The process can be used for production of lignin rich, strong, reactive fibres with high yield or for fract...
Increased need to exploit the biomass raw materials completely has raised the need to develop valorisation processes for new types of raw materials, typically side-stream fractions from forestry, agro and food industries. Lignin residues formed in no...

Fiber modification enables engineering of fiber properties towards targeted industrial need in various fiber-based products....
VTT has long experience in developing biocomposites for several applicationareas. Biocomposites are materials consisting of bioplastics, natural fibres and/or fillers and additives, which are also preferred to be biomass-based....
CoatingWe have extensive knowledge of traditional pigment coating, novel surface treatment methods and modelling of various phenomena taking place during coating. We also have strong competence in a wide range of analyzing tools for characterization...
Fiber Line meets both current and future research needs. Cooking and bleaching equipment for demanding research applications....
More than 80 people from industry and academia participated in VTT Forest Sector’s science evening on the 5th of October in Otaniemi, Espoo. The topic this year was ‘from Forest to Food’....
Bioactive features may provide new markets and added value products, for example, to pulp and paper, packaging, diagnostic and construction industry. VTT is actively building up projects around bioactive functionality of fibre products. The research...
Printable RF readable electronic inks (Nicanti): Inks with electrical properties are printed onto the product surface. Codes are authenticated using with a proprietary reader that can also verify authenticity through serialization. Facilitates produc...
Approaches to the scale-up of Ultrasonic processing made by VTT. Research has been carried out since 1987. Some topic studied during this time has been from preventing sensor fouling and cleaning of filter surfaces and heat exchangers to designing p...
Drying has been studied at VTT from the 1940's. Over the years several topics of drying has been covered theoretically and experimentally, as a good example of such is recently commercialized technology Impingement drying. See publications from VTT t...
SHORT CIRCULATION DEVICE FOR PROCESS CHEMISTRY RESEARCH - KISU...
Vacuum-assisted sheet forming device is called Juupeli. We constucted the device, because deeper understanding of sheet structure development during forming was needed. With the device we can study the effect of vacuum on the filtration....
The multiphase flows team at VTT has a long background for experimental studies of complicated industrial flows. Our strengths include top-level expertise in pilot-scale research platforms as well as supporting modelling and simulation. In addition t...
Ultrasound moisturizing device attached to C-IMPACT tensile tester gives you a possibility to study effects of appliqued moisture on the base paper or board tensile behavior. Information can be utilized when deeper understanding of the interaction be...
1. Open QR-code reader. 2. Read the code. 3. Browse this site with your mobile device. 4. Enjoy!...
In a VTT’s project different types of media concepts were studied. Hybrid school books were found out to be an efficient solution for primary schools. Hybrid book-concept opens up new opportunities both for publishers and material suppliers....
This study aimed at a user centric design of a hybrid book concept for elementary schools. The user groups of interest were 6th grade pupils and their teachers, and the concept was tested for language learning materials. It is quite common that the p...
