View 3 Images 1 / 3. A breakthrough moment for sustainable aviation fuel. ... The problem, according to UC Riverside researchers, has been lignin, a key structural component in plant cells.

This type of lignin, known as technical lignin, is considered the dirtiest of the dirty, something that isn’t usable — except maybe to burn for heat or to add to tires as filler. The UD researchers ...

Lignin, a by-product of the forest industry, can be used to produce sustainable materials that can replace traditional plastics. This has been revealed in a research project at the University of ...

Researchers have developed a fuel cell that uses lignin, a cheap by-product from paper manufacture and one of the most common biopolymers. Researchers from the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at ...

Lignin, a by-product of the forest industry, can be used to produce sustainable materials that can replace traditional plastics. This has been revealed in a research project at the University of ...

Such an analysis suggests that an ancestral white rot fungi developed this lignin-degrading ability roughly 290 million years ago, a conclusion backed by comparison with the appearance in the ...

Lignin, part of the cell wall in plants, is a fascinating research area, for which researchers are developing new practical applications. One interesting possibility would be to use lignin in food ...

Lignin-based conditioners offer a natural, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic hair care products They reduce frizz, lock in moisture, and promote healthier, more manageable hair Biodegradable ...

Lignin, left over after cellulose fibers are removed from wood to make paper, contains a mix of aromatic compounds that chemists have found ways to transform into a range of useful products. In ...

Trees are a source of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. A new process for upgrading lignin bio-oil to hydrocarbons could help expand use of the lignin, which is now largely a waste product left ...
