Fibre composites: Current european research projects

  • SONOPULP (Sonication of natural fibres and agro-waste for production and up-grading of papermaking pulps and biogas) is an ERA-NET CORNET project funded by national agencies members of the CORNET Network. The objective of this research project is to develop a process principle for producing pulps for paper manufacturing from annual plants, including agro-waste, utilising high-power ultrasonic (US) pulping technology and to influence by means of US the pulps used in papermaking to develop the desired fibre properties. 
  • SUNPAP (Scaling Up Nanoparticles in Modern Paper Making) with a budget of EUR 9.8 million aims to demonstrate that it is possible to manufacture high-quality functional paper and packaging products on a pilot scale by using flexible, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly processes.
