N2 - Industrial biomaterials 2009-2012 summarises the key
findings and inventions developed during the VTT's
Industrial biomaterials spearhead programme. In the field
of bio-economy, the Industrial
biomaterial spearhead programme focused on renewing
industry by means of emerging technologies of materials
and chemicals based on non-food biomass, including food
side streams, agricultural leftovers and natural material
waste fractions.
This publication focuses on the development of novel
biopolymers and production technologies based on
lignocellulosics, such as hydrolysed sugars, cellulose,
hemicelluloses, and lignin. The
spearhead programme's main achievements include the
development of nanocellulose products, new packaging
films and barriers from nanocellulose, hemicellulose and
lignin, new production methods for hydroxyacids and their
polymers like high performance bio-barrier PGA, the
development of novel biocomposites for kitchen furniture,
and textile fibres from recycled pulp.
