The 3rd research seminar about cellulose and their nano-materials arranged by PFI on November 16-17, 2010 was a successful event!

Active discussions between scientists working with wood fibres, nanotechnology and material technology created a fruitful exchange of knowledge and ideas. Photos: Gary Chinga Carrasco / Per Olav Johnsen, PFI.
