Next to cellulose, lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer, and the main source of
aromatic structures on earth. It is a phenolic macromolecule, with a complex structure which …

There is a need for renewable resources as a raw material for commodity polymers. Lignin is
one of the most important natural biopolymers from renewable resources due to its sufficient …

A commercial low-gelling fish skin gelatin was used to prepare edible films by casting with
glycerol and sorbitol added as plasticizers. In order to improve the extremely low water …

Functional silica‐lignin dual fillers were obtained via mechanical grinding of the components
(Syloid 244 silica and kraft lignin). Of particular importance here is the fact that lignin is a …

Lignin extraction from biomass is heavily dependent on chemical processes that are harmful
to the environment and the quality of the recovered lignin. Ionic liquid solvents are some of …

PHAs are polyesters synthesized by micro-organisms as an energy reserve from renewable,
and possibly non-food, feedstock. They are non-toxic, biocompatible and quickly …

The growing concerns on environmental pollution and sustainability have raised the interest
on the development of functional biobased materials for different applications, including food …

In this study, thermal-chemical and biodegradation behaviour of green composites based on
flax fibres untreated and treated with alginic acid treated, and poly hydroxybutyrate-co …

Abstract Microbial poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBHV) bio-polyester was
combined by thermoforming with Kraft lignin in order to design new advanced composite …

Two types of industrial lignin, namely Kraft lignin and ammonium lignosulfonates, have been
introduced into wheat gluten-based bioplastics. Mechanical, thermomechanical and water …
