To address these challenges, the researchers conducted a dual modification of lignin's chemical structure and physical form. They grafted methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT ...

Others believe that lignin is a finite heteropolymer whose individual molecules differ in molecular size and chemical structure according to their location within wood cell walls. The ability to ...

A new enzyme can turn lignin waste into valuable chemicals using green, hydrogen peroxide-based processing, offering a ...

Despite its abundance, lignin's complex structure makes it difficult to convert ... the catalytic system selectively cleaves chemical bonds in lignin models, producing a variety of value-added ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make ...
