This study aimed to develop and characterize novel biocomposites incorporating tall oil fatty acid (TOFA)-modified lignin (TeL), citric acid-esterified polyvinyl alcohol (CeP), and unbleached fibers ...

In a significant breakthrough for the cosmetics industry, researchers have developed a new type of sunscreen using lignin, a naturally abundant polymer, and titanium dioxide (TiO 2). The study, led by ...

Using genetic engineering, we successfully introduced a new chromophore structure, scopoletin, into lignin—a key component of plant cell walls. The resulting lignin exhibits strong, stable ...

Trees are the most abundant natural resource living on Earth's land masses, and North Carolina State University scientists and engineers are making headway in finding ways to use them as sustainable, ...

Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadensis) is the finest cotton known because it possesses a few noble qualities that set it apart from other natural fibers 1. The cotton stalk is Egypt’s most ...

Nylon is one of the world’s most widely used synthetic materials, but producing it ...

Scientists successfully tested a new way to produce sustainable jet fuel from lignin-based agricultural waste. The team's research demonstrated a continuous process that directly converts lignin ...

Researchers from Florida State University have created a novel biomass-based material that can continuously absorb and release carbon dioxide (CO 2). The material's major constituent, lignin, is an ...

In the drive to decarbonize chemical production, some of the most promising solutions come from unexpected places. Lignin, once largely burned for energy, is now being explored as a valuable input for ...
