Tannins as herbal extracts are a good alternative for green chemistry. They are found
aplenty in some plant species and can be extracted by simple methods. The tannins main …

The lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses in wood are polymers that behave similarly to the
artificial polymers and are bonded together in wood. Lignin differs from the other two …

Novel hybrid panel composites based on wood, fungal mycelium, and cellulose nanofibrils
(CNF) were developed and investigated in the present study. In one set of experiments …

Alkali lignin (AL) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were polymerized with hexamethylene
