The SuperBark project was introduced during the 11th Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference (NWBC), held between 15-17th October 2024 in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden.
NWBC is a biannual conference, hosted between RISE and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. NWBC is a meeting point for industry, SMEs, universities, and research institutes to discover the latest research and innovations within bio-based materials, bio-chemicals, and products from wood biorefineries. SuperBark was introduced by Principal Scientist Anna Kalliola from VTT. The presentation focused on the first softwood bark-based adhesives results and the characteristics of bark cellulose nanofibril grades.
As the coordinator of SuperBark, VTT leads the production of bark-based components (WP2) for use in developing adhesives and coatings and is also involved in the development of bark-based adhesives (WP3).
