Fibre and Particle Engineering

Fibre and Particle Engineering research unit focuses on sustainability-promoting materials for circular and bioeconomy. In addition, we provide particle and bioproduct technology training for the process technology training program. We also offer research services related to particle analysis, material processing and chemical characterization.

We work together with a variety of universities, research institutes, and companies both in Finland and across Europe. If you are interested in cooperation, contact us!
