Assessment of the Mixing Procedure and the Effect of Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber as a Compatibilizer for Kraft Lignin/Nitrile Rubber Composites

open access: yesSPE Polymers
The growing interest in sustainable rubber materials motivates the use of renewable resources for the development of advanced materials. Lignin, valued for its abundance, biodegradability, and mechanical strengths, emerges as a promising alternative ...

Recent Efforts to Prevent Undesirable Reactions From Fractionation to Depolymerization of Lignin: Toward Maximizing the Value From Lignin

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2018
Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass along with cellulose and hemicellulose, currently underutilized with the bulk of technical lignin being combusted for heat generation in plant.

Organosolv pretreatment of Sitka spruce wood: conversion of hemicelluloses to ethyl glycosides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A range of organosolv pretreatments, using ethanol:water mixtures with dilute sulphuric acid, were applied to Sitka spruce sawdust with the aim of generating useful co-products as well as improving saccharification yield.

Sustainable Carbon Fibers Enable Stable Long‐Term Lithium Metal Deposition for Prospective Zero‐Excess Lithium Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents lightweight, lignin‐derived carbon fiber current collectors that enable controlled lithium deposition. Structural defects and intermediate‐sized pores stabilize pre‐nucleation quasi‐metallic lithium clusters, promoting uniform lithium plating and stripping.

i‐Tac: Inverse Design of 3D‐Printed Tactile Elastomers with Tuneable Optical and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multi‐tissue architecture of the human fingertip dermis (A), this work introduces a mixture design using three PolyJet materials (AC/TM/GM) to expand the achievable elastomer property space (B). An inverse design pipeline (i‐Tac) is developed to map target optical/mechanical requirements to optimal material compositions (C), enabling ...

Non-Einstein Viscosity Phenomenon of Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene Composites Containing Lignin–Polycaprolactone Particulates Highly Dispersed by High-Shear Stress

open access: yes, 2019
Lignin powder was modified via ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone to form a lignin–polycaprolactone (LPCL) particulate. The LPCL particulates were mixed with an acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) matrix at an extremely high rotational speed ...

Work‐Related Asthma From Exposure to Cardboard and Paper Products

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We assess the contribution of cardboard dust exposure to the development of work‐related asthma (WRA). Prior studies on paper‐dust‐related breathing problems have focused on exposures in the paper milling and pulp industries. There have been no reports of asthma linked to workplace exposure to cardboard dust.

Process for purification of waste water produced by a Kraft process pulp and paper mill [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The water from paper and pulp wastes obtained from a mill using the Kraft process is purified by precipitating lignins and lignin derivatives from the waste stream with quaternary ammonium compounds, removing other impurities by activated carbon produced
