The Future is Lignin
Lignin's Transition from Waste to Utility
Lignin, a class of organic polymers found in wood, is the second most abundant organic polymer found on earth. Approximately 30% of wood is comprised of this unique substance. Identified in the early 19th century, its extraction and use didn't begin to gain traction until the 20th century. And even still it is just finding its footing, poised to become an essential component of the green future in the 21st century for its abundant availability and capacity for natural biodegredation.
While often burned or discarded from tree-centric businesses interested in other arboreal elements, this waste can be turned to profit and replace harmful alternatives that pollute the environment.
Lignin Poised to Replace Plastics
Lignin acts as a binding agent in wood, holding cellulose and hemi-cellulose in union. This effect can be replicated in a number of applications to allow deleterious plastics, polluting the oceans and jeopardizing animal life, to fade into the past.
Lignin Infused Supercapacitors
Lignin has been discovered to be a more sustainable, cheaper, and energy-efficient material for use in high-capacity, quick-charging electric vehicle technology. With few and costly disposal techniques available for current supercapacitor technology, this discovery is monumental.
Lignin's Remarkable Role in Adhesives
Sustainable circular materials are the focus of modern researchers striving to take us into a tremendously needed green future. In this quest, namely the pursuit of finding alternatives to fossil oil based materials, researchers have identified Lignin as one such outstanding material. With the ability to be tailored from hard and brittle to soft and tough, Lignin based adhesives can be deployed in both singular and recoverable applications.
