Abstract: Abstract Inspired by the wood sponge and lamellar structure, delignified wood was introduced into epoxy as a scaffold to improve its fracture toughness. By chemically removing lignin and hemicellulose from natural wood and subsequently freeze-drying,… read more here.

Abstract: Nano-porous aerogels are an advantageous approach to produce low-density materials with high surface area, particularly when using biobased materials. Frequently, most biobased aerogels are synthesized through a bottom-up approach, which requires high energy inputs to… read more here.
