Kerstin is working as a researcher in the Bio-based Fibres group. She has a PhD in chemical engineering and her interests are e.g. functionalized bio-based materials, fiber spinning & characterization as well as wood & cellulose chemistry. She is currently working in projects on solution blowing of bio-based nonwovens and spinning of lignin-cellulose fibers as precursors for carbon fibers.

This Vinnova-financed initiation project aims to face the societal challenges with increased resistance in bacteria. In this first stage, different actors gather to share knowledge and collaborate to produce entirely new antimicro…

Continous stabilization and carbonization of lignin-cellulose for carbon fibers

New products and business opportunities are crucial to maintain the competitiveness of Swedish forest industry and to reach the vision of a bio-based society. In a previous project (LightFibre), we demonstrated that wet-spun, lign…

Encapsulated biocide cocktail for minimal toxicity

Our environment is polluted by a variety of different chemicals. One significant source of emissions is the uncontrolled leakage of biocides from antimicrobial and antifouling products. We, therefore, have the need to develop a su…

Solution spinning

Through our expertise in solution spinning, RISE develops new fibers from bio-based raw materials, which is an important part of our efforts to reach a globally sustainable textile industry.

Melt- and Solution Blown

<p>Nonwovens are adaptable and cost-efficient materials. We are accustomed to seeing nonwovens in car interiors, as surface materials on hygiene products and as molded furniture, but they are often hidden from view in sound …
