We introduce a generic foundation for combining hydrophilic cellulose with varied hydrophobic soft polymers, designing multifunctional composites using only biodegradable polymers & lignocellulosic materials, a big step toward fully #sustainable use of #naturalresources.

[Bioproduct Chemistry Aalto @OsterbergLab]

@EKimiaei and teammates have innovatively engineered the #interfacial chemistry of #wood #polymers to maximize the benefit from these valuable resources, eliminating the need for any chemical modification.

Check out our new article, where we demonstrate a new efficient and #sustainable way of using lignin in formaldehyde-free adhesives! We hope it can lead to an increased use of #lignin in #building materials and #composites.

Combined research groups @AaltoUniversity combined plant-based hydrogels to mimic the mechanics of soft tissue. #Cellulose nanofibrils, #lignin nanoparticles, and tragacanth gum outperform previous studies, and have great potential in tissue engineering. https://t.co/LGYgefI70F

How much wood would a wood glue glue if the glue was made of wood? Lignin nanotech makes a sustainable, inexpensive glue from industrial pulp waste. Visit stand 7B.12 and find out how @lignosphere put this tech together! https://t.co/GngydLJr2u #Slush21 @henn_alexander

Lignosphere puts forestry waste to good use. Lignin is a promising material, but refining this byproduct of forestry has been tricky. Their technology breaks past current bottlenecks to reduce — or even replace — petroleum-based chemicals in adhesives, coatings and composites 🌲
