"This method has the potential to reduce the amount of pesticides required." PhD student reveals 'Trojan horse' fix for ...

A study from our group spanning 18 months found no significant differences in the extent of decomposition between field-grown wild-type and lignin-modified poplar wood; indeed, the variation ...

A new book details how lignin once protected algae from UV radiation, then later in evolutionary time became a structural support for trees. The following is an excerpt from When the Earth Was Green: ...

The lake water likely contained polyphenolic compounds from the degradation of lignin-containing plant matter. It inspired him to create a simple conditioner based on lignin. Lignin has ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical drivers of aquatic biogeochemical processes, with dissolved organic matter (DOM) ...

The project has two main goals. First, it aims to demonstrate the upgrade of crude lignin oils to biobased (bulk) chemicals and fuels in existing naphtha crackers and characterize resulting fuels as ...

Biobased lignin gels have been developed as a sustainable alternative for hair conditioning, utilizing lignin from wood biomass to stabilize emulsions with natural oils.

The new filters are impregnated with plant-based raw materials, manufactured using renewable energy and packaged in ...

"Our findings highlight lignin's potential as a stabilizer in oil-in-water emulsions, enabling a more natural and sustainable approach to hair conditioning," says Sipponen. "By using wood-derived ...

The lignin gel-based conditioner was tested against a commercial hair conditioner, showing comparable emulsion stability, viscosity, and conditioning performance.

EDANA, the voice of nonwovens, has announced the three nominees for the FILTREX Innovation Award 2025, recognizing ...
