Fibre and Particle Engineering

The Fibre and Particle Engineering Research Unit promotes circular and bio-economy through material research. In addition, we give lectures of circular economy and bioproduct technology to degree programs. We also provide research services on particle analytics, materials processing and chemical characterisation.

We cooperate with several companies, research institutes and universities both in Finland and across Europe. If you are interested in working with us, please do not hesitate to get in contact!
