Research subject:

The investigation of physicochemical properties of lignocellulosic materials by using the classical and instrumental methods:

  • the investigation of the historical wood in the view of assessment of a degradation degree and further conservatory work,
  • the investigation of the lignocellulose biomass chemical structure to be used in the energetic, pharmaceutic sectors, in phytoremediation, in the production of wood based products, paper, biogas and biofuels,
  • the investigation of wood hue changes in the view of utilization in wood industry, production of wood panels etc.
