Exhibition: From Trees to Technology – Exploring Forest-Based Materials
Trees play a crucial role in a time of urgent need for a green transition. Forest-based materials have the potential not only to replace fossil products but also to drive innovation across most technological fields. This will be showcased in a new exhibition at KTH Library.
The exhibition is organized by KTH Library in collaboration with Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC). At this research center, researchers explore the amazing building blocks of trees to develop new materials with groundbreaking properties. Transparent wood, the world’s strongest bio-based materials, and membranes for energy storage are just a few examples of how we can create new types of sustainable materials from the forest.
In this exhibition, you will learn more about the forest as raw material and see examples of research from WWSC at KTH. Explore the journey from trees to technology - and discover how the forest and technology can shape the future!
Opening and other events
The exhibition opens on 19 September at 4 pm and runs until 9 December 2024. During the exhibition period, the KTH Library arranges several events in relation to the forest and its importance for people and society. More information will be published soon.
