A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion ...

Overcoming supply chain challenges is often a dance of two steps forward, one step back. As the European Union-funded project BioFibreLoop made a breakthrough in lignin-based fiber spinning, finding ...

The utilisation of lignin – the abundant, aromatic biopolymer derived from plant cell walls – in the fabrication of nanoparticles and composite materials is garnering significant scientific attention.

WSU researchers have developed a novel method that extracts lignin in its native form from wheat straw with high yield and purity, overcoming challenges of heterogeneity usually associated with lignin ...

A team of researchers working within the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has discovered a pathway to encourage a type of lignin formation in plants that could ...

COLLEGE STATION – Lignin, used as a renewable resource to produce high-value products, has presented both production and economical challenges for biorefinery operations. However, a Texas A&M AgriLife ...

Efforts to achieve sustainability are driving the discovery of innovative ways to utilize lignin, with growing research focused on its beneficial applications. A key characteristic of biopolymers, ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have developed a fully biobased hair conditioner using lignin gel emulsions, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional ...

A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon-neutral ...

Two recent grants awarded by the National Science Foundation will help scientists in the College of Natural Resources and Environment create new ways to use renewably sourced plant and wood polymers — ...
