On the 2nd of June 2023, the opening ceremony of the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Cellulose High-Tech Materials at the Universitäts- und Forschungszentrum Tulln (UFT Tulln) took place.
The Christian Doppler Society awarded the prestigious Christian Doppler Laboratory Grant to Ass.Prof. MSc Dr. tech. Hubert Hettegger from the Institute of Chemistry of Renewable Resources at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in 2022. Ass. Prof. Hettegger will lead the project for the next seven years. The Christian Doppler Labor for Cellulose High-Tech Materials receives funding from Papierfabrik Wattens GmbH & Co KG, Metadynea Austria GmbH, Lenzing AG and Vienna Textile Lab (VTL GmbH) as industrial partners and from the Federal Ministry Republic of Austria of Labour and Economy.
The research in this project will cover the application properties and characterization of cellulosic materials and their sustainable production and manufacturing processes.
“For the Vienna Textile Lab as a startup, the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Cellulose High-Tech Materials represents an outstanding opportunity to conduct application-oriented basic research. In particular, the long-term commitment to collaboration enables us to pursue sustainable research and delve deeper Into the subject matter alongside BOKU and our Industrial partners.”- Karin Fleck
