Lignin is readily available as a by-product from the pulp and paper industry. It is considered
to be a promising substitute for phenol in phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin synthesis, given …

The efficient use of renewable resources has become a driving force for the worldwide
industry aiming to improve the competitiveness. Considering the available natural raw …

Lignin is the second most abundant natural renewable polymer after cellulose. Natural lignin
is a phenolic polymer formed by radical coupling polymerization of three monolignols, and it …

With the increased use of agro-chemicals in the last two decades it has become crucial to
find alternative chemicals that are less harmful to the environment and humankind. One …

Lignins are the most important aromatic renewable natural resource today, serving as a
sustainable, environmentally acceptable alternative feedstock to fossil‐derived chemicals …

In recent years, significant amounts of various lignins became commercially available. Their
technical utilization for thermosets such as phenol formaldehyde resins is widely discussed …

The amination of industrial softwood kraft lignin was conducted using the Mannich reaction
to modify the lignin structure for value-added applications. To understand the reaction …

Abstract Lignin accounts for approximately 25–35% of the organic matrix of wood and
lignocellulosic biomass in itself is the most abundant renewable material on the planet. It …

Lignins are now considered as the main aromatic renewable resource. They represent an
excellent alternative feedstock for the elaboration of chemicals and polymers. Lignin is a …

An original reaction system (the phase separative reaction system) has been designed for
derivatizing native lignins to highly phenolic, functional polymers. This system is composed …
