We have many projects in the area for Advanced Paper Materials. We have given them the name KM2 together. KM2 means squarekilometres of areas that can be used for printing functionalities. Below you can se our projects in the area right now.

COAT

The aim of the COAT project is to strengthen the establishment of the region and Mid Sweden University as a national centre for forest industry research. This goal can be reached, in part, by developing knowledge in functional coating of paper. The research programme has two specific goals: to study a new process technique and its possible application.

KEPS

The research team behind Kinetic Energy Storage of Paper-Based Supercapacitors (KEPS) has demonstrated that graphene coated on paper could provide inexpensive as well as efficient supercapacitors with high impact content. Forest industry processes are well suited for production of such capacitors and the motor industry is interested in new ways to store energy.

Modulit

More efficient ways to build batteries and other devices to save energy is the goal of the new research project MODULIT. Inexpensive and efficient energy storage is a prerequisite for the development of power-driven vehicles and for an efficient use of renewable electrical energy like wind power and solar energy.
