Mikpolis RDI project activities
Mikpolis Research and Testing Laboratory carries out business-oriented research projects that promote the principles of sustainable development and material efficiency. In addition to its own RDI projects, Mikpolis also actively participates in RDI projects of other Xamk research units.
Our aim is to help businesses succeed and create new entrepreneurship.
The research, development and innovation (RDI) activities of the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) aim to strengthen the vitality of South Savo and Kymenlaakso. As a university of applied sciences (UAS) Xamk has most RDI activities in Finland. There is more information on Xamk’s RDI activities at effective multidisciplinary research and development.
The strengths of Xamk’s Forest Bioeconomy, Materials and Environment research units are the research and development of new products, production processes as well as measurement and monitoring solutions for the bioeconomy, circular economy and technology industry. As one of these research units Mikpolis constantly carries out diverse RDI projects.
Currently ongoing project of Mikpolis
Our current project is called MODIFIRE – Research and testing of fire properties of modified and glued wood materials. The project take place from 2025 to 2027. It is exceptionally significant in scale and potential impact.
The projects we have completed earlier related to the materials engineering and wood and construction industries include the following:
- Clean wood surface
- Planewood – Utilization of Nordic Pinewood in the manufacture of wooden components for aircraft production
- New business for the thermal wood cluster with fire protection
- Pintamod – Resistant wood cladding with carbonization
- Kiertopuu – Recycled products from packaging and by-products of the wood products industry
- Nanotomo – use of nanotomography in materials research and investment in equipment
- From wood to wellbeing innovations
- Puupihi – Development of the wood surface carbonization process
- Long-term durability of fire protection and equipment investment.
