BioRem Fiber
Within the BioRem Fiber research project, the goal is to develop market-adapted environmental technology to clean up fiber banks along the coast of Västernorrland with the help of fungi, plants and...
Chemical engineering
The subject chemical engineering is defined at Mid Sweden University as the knowledge of and the applications of a renewable raw material (forest) with the aim of providing a scientific basis, which can lead to further development or creation of new ones or improved products and processes, where the wood fiber or materials from the forest product can be utilized. The subject of chemical engineering also includes knowledge of and applications of chemical engineering solutions of a more generic nature, such as in the forest industry can be applied in other industries and societies. The research methodology is interdisciplinary.
Ongoing Research Projects
Cellulose-based triboelectric filters for airborne particles
The project aims to design and investigate a novel cellulose-based filter material with high particle retention and low-pressure drop based on triboelectric effect. The developed material is though...
DRIVEN - Expert Competence for Data-Driven Industrial Transformation
In the DRIVEN project, Mittuniversitetet together with 23 companies and organizations will develop new courses adapted to the needs of data-driven development in various industries. In the four-yea...
ExpoFiber - exposure of detailed quality information from fiber distribution data
We apply modern visualization and analysis methods to individual wood fiber properties in the pulping process, to control the process toward more consistent product quality and a more energy-effici...

FORIC is our industrial research school for PhD students. FORIC's full name is Forest as a Resource Industrial Research College.
Modifications of regenerated cellulose for boosting the triboelectric output when converting mechanical energy into electricity
This project addresses the triboelectric output, especially the obtained current and how to increase it, in a cellulose-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). One way to is to increase the...
Molecularly designed cellulose materials for triboelectric applications
The electrically insulating properties of cellulose are already used in transformers today. The same properties can also be used in a new invention: the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). In a TEN...
