Sahar Babaeipour, Denis Curtil, Monika Österberg, Julien Bras Progress in Organic Coatings, 2026, 215, 110069 Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable and recyclable alternatives to plastic packaging has driven the development of 3D-formed fiber-based materials. While fiber-based packages are biodegradable and compatible with paper recycling streams, their high porosity and poor resistance to moisture and grease limits their use in food packaging applications. Herein we

Daryna Diment, MiJung Cho, Davide Rigo, Michael Hummel ChemSusChem, 2026, 19, e202501985 Abstract: Lignin and lignin–carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) were isolated using AquaSolv Omni (AqSO). The process involves hydrothermal treatment of wood followed by organic solvent extraction, using a sequential fractionation approach with water-based alkaline (1 wt%), ethanol, and acetone solutions. This strategy allowed for isolating different lignin/LCCs fractions with varying structu
