Wood-based composite materials Group

Group Research Theme

Wood resources are renewable and sustainable if used with proper planning. We have been developing wood composites for building and automotive interior components that improve the energy efficiency as well as the comfortability, based on materials science and industrial aspects. By introducing functional matters in the fine structure of wood, novel properties such as large deformability and improved durability can be obtained. With the multi-material process combining other industrial materials, the wood flow molding techniques make it possible to create feasible and scalable applications.
