This trend has increased the demand for bio-based packaging materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge is that bio-based packaging materials do not withstand moisture as well as fossil-based plastics. As a result, many packaging manufacturers have had to add plastic or metal films to otherwise bio-based packages. To overcome this issue, researchers around the world are studying different bio-based coating alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FilmCO project also focused on bio-based materials \u2013 but with a somewhat different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe did not set out to develop a better coating film. Instead, we aimed to develop a method for predicting how a better coating could be created in the first place. By understanding the parameters of spreading, we can in the future avoid trial-and-error research and save both time and chemicals,\u201d explains <strong>Monika \u00d6sterberg<\/strong>, Professor of Bioproduct Chemistry at Aalto University and principal investigator of the FilmCO project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new method for studying spreading phenomenon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project\u2019s industrial partner was Kemira, which has developed, among other things, aqueous dispersion coatings. In dispersion coating, an aqueous dispersion of polymeric particles is spread onto the substrate. When the water evaporates the particles fuse together and finally forms a continuous film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kemira wanted to develop a method to study this spreading phenomenon more closely and approached \u00d6sterberg with the research challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project\u2019s key result was that spreading can be studied using atomic force microscopy. With an atomic force microscope, it is possible to image a coating in water before spreading as well as at different stages of film formation. Most other microscopes with comparable resolution require, for example, a vacuum to operate, which makes them unsuitable for examining liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was a step forward in enabling the development of bio-based packaging materials and moving away from fossil-based ones,\u201d says \u00d6sterberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FRIF funding enabled a win\u2013win collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was Kemira that suggested applying for the Finnish Research Impact Foundation\u2019s TIA Postdoc funding. For \u00d6sterberg, this funding model has worked exceptionally well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed this way of working with a company. The advantage is that the company explains the problem and shares a lot of tacit knowledge, while at the same time we are able to carry out scientifically significant research,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00d6sterberg\u2019s research group will continue collaborating with Kemira on similar topics even after the project\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FRIF\u2019s TIA Postdoc grants will be open for applications again in spring 2026.
