معرفی
Ida Svanedal is a Researcher at Mid Sweden University, affiliated with the Department of Engineering, Mathematics and Subject Didactics (IMD) and the FSCN Research Centre in Sundsvall. Her work focuses on sustainable materials development through cellulose science and chelating surfactant chemistry, contributing to industrial applications in biocomposites and environmental remediation.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Engineering, Mid Sweden University (2014), Dissertation: 'Fundamental Characterization and Technical Aspects of a Chelating Surfactant'
Dr. Svanedal's research centers on molecular interactions in cellulose regeneration and chelating surfactant systems. She investigates surface phenomena at air/water interfaces, metal ion coordination chemistry, and the development of all-cellulose laminates. Her work bridges fundamental colloid science with practical applications in sustainable materials, emphasizing green chemistry principles and renewable resource utilization.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2012-2025) reveals two dominant research trajectories: (1) chelating surfactant applications for heavy metal removal via ion flotation, and (2) cellulose-based material innovation including triboelectric respirators and self-gluing laminates. Recent work shows increasing focus on biomedical applications and industrial process optimization, particularly in 2024-2025 publications on cellulose film stacking and real-time regeneration monitoring.
No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
While specific advising activities and grant details remain unreported, her doctoral thesis supervision and collaborative projects suggest involvement in graduate training. Her research spans fundamental characterization (e.g., neutron reflectivity studies) to applied development (e.g., Novocell respirators project).
Dr. Svanedal operates within Mid Sweden University's FSCN Research Centre, a hub for fiber science innovation. Her current projects 'Morphological studies on future biocomposites' and 'Novocell' demonstrate active leadership in developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials, with emphasis on circular economy principles.
