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 ...
Adding lignin into biobased polymer materials not only reduces cost but also endows multiple functions to the materials. However, the harsh conditions brought by conventional melt-blending always lead ...
Although lignin is a promising candidate as a source of polyol for producing eco-friendly polyurethane foam (PUF), its direct application has limitations, primarily stemming from the brittleness of ...
