This program introduces the candidate to the field of lignocellulosic materials, where the industry is one of the fundamental pillars of the Canadian economy. The science and engineering of lignocellulosic materials cover a wide range of processes, including the manufacture of paper and paperboard, the production of energy from forest biomass, the extraction of lignocellulosic fibre base molecules and the manufacture of lignocellulosic fibres. consumption from chemically modified lignocellulosic fibres.
