A new book details how lignin once protected algae from UV radiation, then later in evolutionary time became a structural ...

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 ...

Explore lignin-based conditioners, a sustainable solution for haircare. Learn how it is environmentally sustainable and ...

Hair conditioner made using lignin, a polymer found in wood and bark, works just as well as a commercial product - as long as you don't mind the smell ...

Lignin, a polymer that makes trees rigid and resistant to degradation, has proven problematic. Now those NC State researchers know why. They've identified the specific molecular property of lignin ...

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

Lignin—a widely available by-product of cellulose production, with about 70 million tons generated annually—offers a promising, sustainable alternative. Typically treated as waste or burned ...

"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 ...

This stress leads to changes in cellular behaviour which result in either adaptation to the environment or to cell death. In our xylem and lignin related projects we study lignin biosynthesis in ...

What if seawater could power your devices—without the high cost? A catalyst made from waste materials could change the future of energy storage.
