Renewable bio-based polymers are one of the effective answers that the bioeconomy offers
to solve the environmental emergency connected to plastics and more specifically fossil …

The demand for petroleum dependent chemicals and materials has been increasing despite
the dwindling of their fossil resources. As the dead-end of petroleum based industry has …

Detailed insight into the structure and composition of industrial (technical) lignins is needed
to devise efficient thermal, bio-or chemocatalytic valorisation strategies. Six such technical …

Motivated by the general concern about sustainability and environmental issues, an intense
