Valorisation of lignin – Achievements of the LignoValue project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Lignocellulosic biorefinery for production of biofuels, materials and chemicals requires valorization of all fractions including lignin. As a consequence of its poly-aromatic structure, lignin potentially serves as a source for aromatic chemicals.

Partially Biobased Polyurethanes With Reversibly Crosslinkable Furan Units Toward Recyclable Thermosetting Textile Fibres

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A molecular design strategy combines lignin‐derived aromatic units, sugar‐derived furan groups, and flexible glycol segments to create wet‐spinnable polyurethanes. Thermally reversible Diels–Alder crosslinking chemistry enables formation of crosslinked thermosetting fibers, repeated de‐crosslinking/re‐crosslinking cycles, and tunable fiber properties ...

Development of colorless wood via two-step delignification involving alcoholysis and bleaching with maintaining natural hierarchical structure

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science, 2020
Lignin-free wood has been successfully developed via a two-step chemical treatment while maintaining its inherent hierarchical structure. The first step was alcoholysis which was conducted using ethylene glycol, and whose condition was optimized by ...
