The majority of commodity plastics and materials are derived from petroleum-based
chemicals, illustrating the strong dependence on products derived from non-renewable …

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, higher oil prices, and greenhouse gas emissions, the
scientific community has been conducting an ongoing search for viable renewable …

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 …

The analysis of chemical structural characteristics of biorefinery product streams (such as
lignin and tannin) has advanced substantially over the past decade, with traditional wet …

Wood products are extensively used to make furniture items and construction materials;
however, the majority contain formaldehyde-based adhesives that raise serious health …

Technical lignins are bulk feedstocks. They are generated as byproducts from pul** or
cellulosic ethanol production. As lignin undergoes significant structural changes as a result …

This short critical review outlines possible scenarios for using lignin as a feedstock in a
biorefinery environment. We first explain the position of biomass with respect to fossil carbon …

The need for renewable alternatives to traditional petroleum-derived plastics has driven
recent interest in biobased composite materials that are sourced from carbon-neutral …

The aim of this manuscript is to present an integrated process that includes reaction and
separation steps for producing vanillin and lignin-based polyurethanes from Kraft lignin. It …

The solubility of four lignin samples and their acetylated forms was determined in a series of
organic solvents to investigate the relationship between solubility and the solubility …
