NoMa project: New properties for biocomposites

22 February 2016

VTT in Finland is one of the project partners in the NoMa project. The NoMa project will develop new properties for biocomposites and thick fibre foam structures by means of an optimal combination of long natural fibres, fines, nanofibres and polymers. By combining nanocellulose, hemp stem or bast fibre into thick fibre foam structures and biocomposites, the durability and water resistance of fibre products can be improved, or colour and shine can be created to biocomposites. It is a vision of the companies that are involved in the project to manufacture, for example wall materials that absorb sound or interior material for packages to replace polystyrene (News Item VTT, 16 February 2016).
