THE INSTITUTE OF PLANT AND WOOD CHEMISTRY
Prof. Steffen Fischer assumed the management of the Institute of Plant and Wood Chemistry in 2006. Chemists, engineers as well as forest scientists are employed at the institute. Thus, training and research can be arranged in an interdisciplinary matter.
The material utilization of renewable raw materials is currently paramount. New bio-based materials of high functionality can be produced by a specific separation and modification of individual ingredients of plants.
