  2. 16. New regulators of xylem lignification in arabidopsis

    Author : Bernadette Sztojka; Hannele Tuominen; Simon Hawkins; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Xylem; lignin; Arabidopsis; secondary cell wall; transcriptional regulation; lignin-biosynthetic gene; S G lignin ratio;

    Abstract : The ability of land plants to grow upright, bear their own weight and withstand adverse environmental conditions is largely dependent on the secondary xylem tissues of the stem. The xylem cells acquire thick secondary cell walls which are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. READ MORE

  4. 17. Precipitation of Kraft Lignin: Yield and Equilibrium

    Author : Weizhen Zhu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lignin precipitation; molecular weight of lignin; 1H and 13C NMR spectra of lignin; black liquor; Poisson-Boltzmann cell model; LignoBoost process;

    Abstract : Kraft pulping is the dominant pulping process used in the world today. The material efficiency in modern kraft pulp mills is, however, only 40−55% and the final product consists mainly of cellulose. Recently, a novel process called “LignoBoost” has been introduced to separate lignin from kraft black liquor. READ MORE

  5. 18. Composition of lignin in outer cell-wall layers

    Author : Maria Christiernin; Gunnar Henriksson; Gösta Brunow; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lignin; thioacidolysis; primary wall; middle lamella; Populus balsamifera; Populus tremula L. x P. tremuloides Michx.; Picea abies; Picea glauca; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : The composition of lignin in the outer cell-wall layers of spruce and poplar has been studied and the data obtained have been compared with those of the mature reference wood in which the secondary cell wall predominates. Materials with exclusively or predominantly outer cell-wall layers were examined. READ MORE

  6. 19. Lignin nanoparticles for photonic crystals and photothermal films

    Author : Jinrong Liu; Mika H. Sipponen; Maurice Collins; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lignin; colloid chemistry; films; coatings; nanocomposites; materialkemi; Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : The development of sustainable materials from biobased resources is essential due to environmental concerns posed by fossil-based materials. Lignin is a chemically complex biopolymer that exists in woody tissues of vascular plants. Lignin has many useful properties such as antioxidant activity, thermal stability, UV-absorbance, rigidity and so on. READ MORE

  7. 20. Wood-derived lignin-based fibers as supercapacitor electrodes

    Author : Azega Rajendra Babu Kalai Arasi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lignin; green electrode materials; energy storage; supercapacitor;

    Abstract : Today, in order to replace fossil energy sources with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, reliable energy storage systems that can provide power regardless of the intermittent nature of the energy sources must be created. Especially with the future’s rising energy demands the development of such energy storage systems from green-collar materials with the least negative environmental impact is pressing. READ MORE
