FFColor
The goal of the FinnFiberColor project is to develop solutions for the challenges that man-made cellulose fiber (MMCF) technologies face.
Celebration of Fernanda’s Summer Internship
On 15 August, Fernanda Rivera Ledesma, a summer intern in the Textile Chemistry Group, presented the results of her research. Her work focused on color stripping of vat-dyed denim fabrics using oxidizing bleaching agents.
TexirC Project Meeting at Mirka
The Mirka Karis factory recently hosted a key meeting for the TexirC project, which is tackling four major challenges in textile recycling: colour stripping, fibre separation, compositional analysis, and the de/repolymerization of synthetic fibres.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly nonwoven materials
Olamide working on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly nonwovens from recycled and bio-based man-made cellulosic fibres, utilizing nonwoven technologies such as needle-punching, air-through bonding, and wet-laid processes.
Arboretum Otaniemi
Our aim is to raise public awareness of the variety and significance of trees in the campus landscape.
SUSTAFIT
Sustainable fit-for-purpose nonwovens is a research project that responds to the need of Finnish industry to improve competitiveness and expand opportunities in the rapidly growing market for sustainable nonwovens.
Color Stripping of Textile Waste
Developing an efficient color stripping process to remove reactive dyes from textile waste, enhancing fabric recyclability and environmental safety.
Gustaf Komppa – Master of Organic Syntheses
Gustaf Komppa served as a professor of chemistry at the Helsinki University of Technology from 1908 to 1937. Gustaf Komppa rose from modest circumstances to become one of Finland's most significant and respected chemists. His most famous scientific achievements were the development of the total synthesis of camphor between 1901 and 1903, the development of the total synthesis of pinene in 1937, and the invention of the so-called Komppa method for producing synthetic gasoline from peat and wood raw materials.
