Composite materials are emerging as a vital entity for the sustainable development of both
humans and the environment. Polylactic acid (PLA) has been recognized as a potential …

The exploration of renewable resources is essential to help transition toward a more
sustainable materials economy. The valorization of lignin can be a key component of this …

Lignin is the world's second most prevalent biomaterial, but its effective value-added product
valorization methods are still being developed. The most common preparation processes for …

Natural fibers reinforced biopolymer composites (NFRBC) are attractive alternatives to
petroleum-based plastics due to their renewability, carbon neutrality, and degradability …

The recycling of biomass into high-value-added materials requires important developments
in research and technology to create a sustainable circular economy. Lignin, as a …

The demand for biodegradable materials across various industries has recently surged due
to environmental concerns and the need for the adoption of renewable materials. In this …

Individual and hybrid pre-treatments, including hot water, steam and microwave were used
on wheat straw to mitigate the surface quality deficiencies for an intimate interfacial bond …

The amount of residues generated by agriculture, industrial, or urban activities continuously
increases and, consequently, demands several methods for their correct management. The …

In this study, we showed that lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) with controllable size could be
prepared using the acetone/water cosolvent (A/W) approach. The solubility of lignin in A/W …

Biocomposites based on lignocellulosic components (eg pulp fibers, nanocellulose and
lignin) are of interest as sustainable replacements for thermoplastic fossil-based materials …
