Driving Forces of Market Expansion: The upward trajectory of the lignin market is propelled by a convergence of factors. Increased environmental consciousness and regulatory mandates necessitate the ...
Typically it directs considerable resources to ensuring that this does not happen; one of the ways it does so is to encase its cellulosic fibres in recalcitrant lignin, a phenolic resinous ...
Discoveries: Professor Utley experimenting on the breaking down of Lignin, 1987. This photograph from 1987 shows Jim Utley (then Head of Chemistry, now Emeritus Professor of Organic Chemistry) at ...
Lignin biosynthesis projects concentrate on lignin biosynthesis in developing woody tissue of Norway spruce and Silver birch, both of which are economically important trees in Finland. We have ...
First, the lignin is removed from the wood by dissolving it in acetate, leaving behind mostly the cellulose structure. Then a conductive polymer is added to create a lattice structure of sorts ...
Due to their low lignin content, however, peatland plants could also be an attractive alternative to wood as a raw material source for sustainable paper packaging. Researchers at the Fraunhofer ...
