Abstract
Wood fibers are currently mainly exploited in forest
industries, but their availability and sustainability
also make them an interesting raw material option for
other material applications. The properties of wood
fibers are often not suited, as such, for use in target
applications, however, and there is therefore a
continuous search for novel methods to modify fiber
properties. The chemo-enzymatic functionalisation method
developed at VTT is a versatile modification method
suitable for various lignin-containing fiber materials
including wood fibers. The method developed by VTT
appears to offer new opportunities for extending the
application of wood fibers outside traditional
wood-processing products.
