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

Lignin molecular property discovery could help turn trees into affordable, greener industrial chemicals by North Carolina State University Editors' notes ...

Researchers have developed a high-performance, eco-friendly sunscreen using natural lignin and titanium dioxide, providing a sustainable alternative for sun protection. This innovative sunscreen ...

Regrettably, a study on ionization efficiencies of larger lignin oligomers also requires standards; thus, it relies on in-house synthesis of model compounds. Andrianova et al. investigated seven ...

Washington State University researchers have developed an innovative method to extract high-quality lignin from wheat straw, potentially transforming it into a profitable product for industry use.

A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon ...

Mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful tool for studying lignin, offering new insights into its composition and function. This article will provide an overview of current lignin research ...

Lignin depolymerization is playing a pivotal role in transforming the second most abundant biopolymers in nature into many valuable chemicals/fuels. This route could directly replace their petrol ...

We developed a catalyst that can selectively break down specific chemical bonds in lignin when it is exposed to light, such that the lignin is converted into intermediate-sized, soluble molecules ...
