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 ...
It matters because if one common type spreads northward, it means significantly greater releases of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, according to scientists’ projections, climate ...
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 ...
