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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Climate Change and the Future of Lignin Production How Rising Temperatures Could Impact a Key Natural Resource NANJING, CHINA, March 3, ...

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 ...

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

This stress leads to changes in cellular behaviour which result in either adaptation to the environment or to cell death. In our xylem and lignin related projects we study lignin biosynthesis in ...

In this project innovative key unit operations in biofuels production are developed based on gasification of lignin rich residues. The project also aims at developing strong relationships between ...
