Hair conditioner made using lignin, a polymer found in wood and bark, works just as well as a commercial product - as long as you don't mind the smell ...

Explore lignin-based conditioners, a sustainable solution for haircare. Learn how it is environmentally sustainable and ...

A new book details how lignin once protected algae from UV radiation, then later in evolutionary time became a structural ...

Lignin, a polymer that makes trees rigid and resistant to degradation, has proven problematic. Now those NC State researchers know why. They've identified the specific molecular property of lignin ...

Lignin—a widely available by-product of cellulose production, with about 70 million tons generated annually—offers a promising, sustainable alternative. Typically treated as waste or burned ...

The lake water likely contained polyphenolic compounds from the degradation of lignin-containing plant matter. It inspired him to create a simple conditioner based on lignin. Lignin has ...

Biobased lignin gels have been developed as a sustainable alternative for hair conditioning, utilizing lignin from wood biomass to stabilize emulsions with natural oils.

A study from our group spanning 18 months found no significant differences in the extent of decomposition between field-grown wild-type and lignin-modified poplar wood; indeed, the variation ...

The project has two main goals. First, it aims to demonstrate the upgrade of crude lignin oils to biobased (bulk) chemicals and fuels in existing naphtha crackers and characterize resulting fuels as ...

In our xylem and lignin related projects we study lignin biosynthesis in developing woody tissue of Norway spruce and Silver birch, both of which are economically important trees in Finland.

Researchers have developed a fully biobased hair conditioner using lignin gel emulsions, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional haircare products.
