Lignin, one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth, has been traditionally considered a
low-value by-product of the pulp and paper industries. This renewable raw material, besides …

Active food packaging systems promote better food quality and/or stability, such as by
releasing antimicrobial agents into food. Advantages of adding antimicrobials to the …

The surge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is leading to the loss of effectiveness of antibiotic
treatment, resulting in prolonged infections and even death. Against this healthcare threat …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad spectrum antibacterial effect, but their cores after
use can persist in the environment, which presents a toxic effect on humans. To address this …

The industrial lignin has shown great potential to replace some of petrochemical. But the
deep color of lignin limits their application in high-value field. The extraction of light-colored …

ABSTRACT Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with antibacterial properties were synthesized by
using a one-step method. The reagents used were environmentally friendly, and no …

Lignin nanoparticles (lignin-NPs) have been successfully prepared from the bark of a fig tree
by a hydrothermal method for the first time, next, synthesized lignin-NPs were doped with …
