Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 5, February 5, 2026.Manufacturing process and mechanical testing of lignin polymer composites. ABSTRACT Lignin is a plant‐derived, the second most abundant natural polymer, and a waste byproduct of the pulp industry. Incorporation of lignin into plastic composites using scalable approaches is commercially favored and low carbon‐cost.

Optimizing Soil Properties Through Hydrogel and Sawdust Combinations for Better Plant Growth
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 168-178, February 2026.This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of various soil amendments on poplar cutting vitality under drought conditions, as observed using X‐ray computed tomography (CT). It compares soil alone, soil with sawdust, soil with hydrogel, and their combination, highlighting differences in internal structure, water retention, and root development.

Challenges in lignin valorization during biomass hydrogenolysis for ethylene glycol production
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 268-279, January/February 2026.Abstract This study examined the extent to which lignin upgrading is possible when maximizing ethylene glycol (EG) production during the hydrogenolysis of lignocellulosic biomass over bifunctional tungsten–nickel catalysts. Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) was selected as a benchmark lignin valorization process because its reaction conditions ...
