Dissolution of wood in ionic liquids.
Ilkka Kilpeläinen,Haibo Xie,Alistair W. T. King,Mari Granstrom,Sami Heikkinen,Dimitris S. Argyropoulos +5 more
TL;DR: The present paper demonstrates that both hardwoods and softwoods are readily soluble in various imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) under gentle conditions, and offers a variety of new possibilities for its structural and macromolecular characterization, without the prior isolation of its individual components.
Journal ArticleDOI
2 Chloro 4,4,5,5 tetramethyl 1,3,2 dioxaphospholane, a reagent for the accurate determination of the uncondensed and condensed phenolic moieties in lignins
TL;DR: The use of 2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane as a reagent in quantitative 31P NMR analysis of the hydroxyl groups in lignins has been thoroughly examined, and an experimental protocol recommended for spectra acquisition has been developed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal properties of lignin in copolymers, blends, and composites: a review
TL;DR: The need for renewable alternatives to conventional petroleum based polymers has been the motivation for work on biobased composites, blends and materials whose foundations are carbon neutral feedstocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the structure of softwood kraft lignin
TL;DR: In this article, two constitutional structural schemes are proposed attempting to unify and rationalize a series of focused NMR and chromatographic determinations aimed at providing an integrated picture for the structure of softwood kraft lignin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Characterization of Eucalyptus Wood
Carmen-Mihaela Popescu,Maria-Cristina Popescu,Ghita Singurel,Cornelia Vasile,Dimitris S. Argyropoulos,Stefan Willför +5 more
TL;DR: FT-IR spectroscopy can be used as a quick method to differentiate Eucalyptus globulus samples and clearly show that after chlorite bleaching the structure of the wood components is partially modified or removed.
