The Chracteristics, of Tropical Wood Lignins (2)
JAPAN TAPPI JOURNAL, 1973 It has been reported previously that the tropical wood lignins, particularly hard wood species showed some different characteristics from the ordinary lignins. As mentioned in previous paper, it was supposed that the lignin-like substances which could be extracted with aqueous NaOH would be the cause of those characteristics.This report describes about
