Scientists have already learned how to make helmets, batteries, and even sports cars from wood, so applying it to something like thermal paper might not sound that exciting. Yet it could actually ...

Lignin and cellulose are polymers—large molecules made up of repeating modules—that are situated in a tangled braid, along with some other polymers, within the plant cell wall. Lignin and cellulose ...

A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion ...

Ho Yong Chung, an associate professor in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has demonstrated for the first time the possibility of using lignin, a material found in plant cell walls, and carbon ...

Researchers from Florida State University have created a novel biomass-based material that can continuously absorb and release carbon dioxide (CO 2). The material's major constituent, lignin, is an ...

In a first, scientists at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have created a new kind of polyurethane by mixing lignin, a material found in plant cell walls, along with carbon dioxide. The versatile ...

Chestnut Hill, Mass (2/21/2023) – Lignin is arguably the most abundant component of biomass that most people have never heard of. That may be about to change. Many people are familiar with its ...

Researchers have created a potential alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastic that is made from carbon dioxide (CO2) and lignin, a component of wood that is a low-cost byproduct of paper ...

A new, biomass-based material can be used to repeatedly capture and release carbon dioxide. The material is primarily made from lignin, an organic molecule that is a main component of wood and other ...

Its biochemical cousin cellulose, a byproduct of the paper and wood milling industry, is well known to many people. But, according to industry analysts, the same procedures generate 50 million tons of ...

The utilisation of lignin – the abundant, aromatic biopolymer derived from plant cell walls – in the fabrication of nanoparticles and composite materials is garnering significant scientific attention.
