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.

Holocellulose Nanocrystals: Amphiphilicity, Oil/Water Emulsion, and Self-Assembly [PDF]
Biomacromolecules, 2015 Amphiphilic holoCNCs were derived from rice straw holocellulose by sulfuric acid hydrolysis (64%, 45 °C, 45 min) at 11.6% yield (8.8% of rice straw). HoloCNCs are similar in lateral dimensions (4.1 ± 1.6 nm thick, 6.4 ± 1.8 nm wide), but shorter and more heterogeneous in lengths (113 ± 70 nm long), less negatively charged (0.128 mmol/g) and less ...

Probing Chemical Changes in Holocellulose and Lignin of Timbers in Ancient Buildings [PDF]
Polymers, 2019 Wooden structures in China’s ancient buildings hold highly historical and cultural values. There is an urgent need to repair and replace the damaged wooden structures after hundreds and thousands of years of exposure to weather. Unfortunately, to date there is still a lack of insightful understanding on how the chemical structure, composition, and ...
