Lightweight lignocellulosic foams for thermal insulation

Tia Lohtander et al.

Summary: This study focuses on generating thermally insulating foam from surfactants and renewable lignocellulosic materials. The results showed that bleached pulp foam made using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as surfactant produced the highest foam volume, best stability, and good thermal insulation. Lignin improved the structural stability of foam and brought a natural brown color to the foam.

One-pot synthesis of aminated cellulose nanofibers by biological grinding for enhanced thermal conductivity nanocomposites

Qi-Lin Lu et al.

Summary: Aminated cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) with high thermal stability, crystallinity, and dispersion stability are extracted from biological grinding biomass through one-pot microwave-hydrothermal synthesis. These A-CNF serve as excellent reinforcing and curing agents in constructing high performance epoxy nano composites, demonstrating significant enhancements in thermal conductivity, thermal expansion reduction, and Young's modulus. This process may facilitate a closed-loop carbon cycle in the production and utilization of biomass.

Lignin-Based Porous Supraparticles for Carbon Capture

Bin Zhao et al.

Summary: Carbon supraparticles with hierarchical porous structures are synthesized from lignin and cellulose nanofibrils. These carbon SPs exhibit high mechanical strength, large surface area, and excellent CO2 adsorption capabilities with low pressure drop, addressing limitations in mass transport and kinetics often found in nanoparticle-based systems. Additionally, the carbon SPs do not require heteroatom doping for effective CO2 uptake and can be easily regenerated for multiple adsorption/desorption cycles, making them cost-effective and highly efficient for gas sorption and capture.

Improving the combination of cellulose and lignin using xylan as a compatibilizer

Liangxian Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, a cellulose/lignin/xylan film with higher thermostability and water and oxidation resistance was developed using a simple and green immersing, drying, and hot-pressing procedure. Xylan enhanced the hydrogen bonding between cellulose and lignin, and water further plasticized and promoted the bonding of the ternary components, resulting in excellent properties for applications in food packaging, transportation, preservation, and biomedicine.

Pansharpening PRISMA Data for Marine Plastic Litter Detection Using Plastic Indexes

Maria Kremezi et al.

Summary: This study uses satellite hyperspectral data for the first time to detect small marine plastic litter, demonstrating that PCA-based substitution can efficiently separate plastic spectra from water. Pansharpening techniques enhance the spatial resolution of the imagery, enabling the detection of plastic targets equivalent to 8% of the original pixel coverage. By evaluating 13 pansharpening methods, it is found that the spatial resolution of hyperspectral images can be improved effectively for detecting plastic objects.
