معرفی
Gunilla Pettersson is a Researcher at the Department of Engineering, Mathematics and Subject Didactics (IMD), Mid Sweden University, specializing in sustainable materials science and forest bioeconomy research.
- Education: Doctoral thesis (2007) on polymeric multilayer treatment effects on CTMP-based paperboard properties
Her research focuses on enhancing mechanical and wet-strength properties of high-yield pulp papers through hot-pressing technology, lignin optimization, and nanocellulose integration. Key projects include HIPS - Sustainable Innovations in Forest Bioeconomy and NeoPulp, with industry collaborations in the FSCN Research Centre.
Recent publications analyze lignin microparticle coatings, sulfonation strategies, and steel belt press technology for high-strength papers. She contributes to journal articles, conference proceedings, and book chapters in Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal and similar outlets.
Her work addresses energy-efficient paper manufacturing, bio-based composites, and industrial sustainability through material science innovations.
