Sustainable materials chemistry research group
Following a recent publication by Sipponen and co-workers from Aalto University, several websites have covered the research related to thermal energy storage in lignin-fatty acid hybrid materials.
This sets a bright future for continued efforts to develop functional materials from lignin.

Adrian Moreno Guerra has started as Postdoctoral Fellow in the group! (OK two weeks ago but we’ve been busy to update…)
A piece of advice to future junior faculty for the new lab start-up: get a good pair of scissors for opening a lot of boxes!
Our proposed project “C1Bio” on carbon dioxide conversion to value-added chemicals and materials has recently been awarded funding by VINNOVA. Looking forward to a fruitful collaboration with Per-Olof Syren (KTH), RISE Processum, Tetyana Budnyak (SU) and Adam Slabon (SU).
