Discoveries: Professor Utley experimenting on the breaking down of Lignin, 1987. This photograph from 1987 shows Jim Utley (then Head of Chemistry, now Emeritus Professor of Organic Chemistry) at ...

A study from our group spanning 18 months found no significant differences in the extent of decomposition between field-grown wild-type and lignin-modified poplar wood; indeed, the variation ...

Lignin, a polymer that makes trees rigid and resistant to degradation, has proven problematic. Now those NC State researchers know why. They've identified the specific molecular property of lignin ...

Gessner’s new lignin filter media is designed to reduce your product carbon footprint. Unlike traditional filter media, ...

Lignin bio­syn­thesis projects concentrate on lignin biosynthesis in developing woody tissue of Norway spruce and Silver birch, both of which are economically important trees in Finland. We have ...

"We're working to create an effective, commercially relevant technology." Scientists develop pioneering way to power ...

In a significant breakthrough for the cosmetics industry, researchers have developed a new type of sunscreen using lignin, a ...

Whenever a body engages in physical activity, muscles break down nutrients like fats and glucose for energy. This process ...

Specific molecular property of lignin in trees determines difficulty of using microbial fermentation to turn trees and other plants into industrial chemicals. Trees are the most abundant natural ...
