Biorenewable polymers from different natural sources have attracted the attention of the
research community in different fields such as food, biomedicine, cosmetic, and polymer …

Lignin represents a considerable source of renewable and bio-based carbon. Pulping
processes enable lignin, together with all components of the lignocellulosic biomass, to …

Over the last 50 years, the use of wood adhesives in the manufacturing of wood-based
panel goods has increased the efficiency of wood resources. Wood adhesives are becoming …

Lignin is a readily available yet heavily underutilised resource due to its severe degree of
variability related to the plant source and to the processes employed for its isolation. Being …

Conventional pulping processes and emerging lignocellulosic biorefineries provide a large
quantity of lignin with heterogeneous characters, including complex chemical structure and …

The primary aim of modern biorefineries is the efficient conversion of lignocellulosic
materials into valuable products. Sugars and oils can be converted into valuable chemicals …

Lignin has received significant attention as a waste product from industrial and agricultural
processing, yet technical lignins are typically low in phenolic contents and its use scenarios …

Renewable resources are gaining increasing interest as a source for environmentally
benign biomaterials, such as drug encapsulation/release compounds, and scaffolds for …

Lignin heterogeneity, including complex chemical structure and wide molecular-weight
distribution, results in the inhomogeneous and modest performance of lignin, which …

This study focuses on a systematic, structural characterization of lignin samples fractionated
from softwood industrial black liquor (BL). In addition to the isolation efficiency, the impact of …
