Lignin is a promising UV-shielding material to substitute the synthetic absorbers in a composite due to its excellent UV-shielding property. The chromophores group of lignin is …
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) play an important role in polymer chemistry, as they provide an innovative link between thermoplastics and thermosets. The breakthrough idea …
Lignin is a highly abundant biopolymer with a complex polyphenolic structure, making it a potential source of aromatic precursors, polymers, and energy. However, its thermal stability …

Studies have elucidated that the trends in dissolving pulp markets worldwide are growing consistently and rapidly. In 2018, the global revenue generated from dissolving pulp …
This work evaluates wheat straw, switchgrass, and hemp hurd as potential alternatives for producing dissolving pulp using sulfur dioxide (SO 2)-ethanol-water (SEW) pulping. The …
Over the last century the pulp and paper sector has assessed various technologies to fractionate woody biomass to produce strong, bright fibers. Several of these processes have …
Carbon fibers (CFs) are made mostly from a non-environmentally friendly polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and little from rayon. PAN-based CFs, require huge amount of energy for its …
In the present study, and for the waste valorization, Moringa oleifera seeds-removed ripened pods (SRRP) were used for papersheet production and for the extraction of bioactive …
