Program Offerings
Paper Surface Science Graduate Program
The objective of the Paper Surface Science Program (PSSP) at the University of Maine is to train graduate students to perform scientific research on projects that provide value to sponsoring industries.
The program develops both fundamental and applied knowledge related to paper surface treatment processes—including sizing, coating, printing, and gluing—as well as the structure-performance relationships of paper-based products. Recent efforts have focused on replacing single-use packaging with sustainable, cellulose-based alternatives.
