Influence of Residual Lignin on Mechanical Fibrillation and Colloidal Stability of Cellulose Nanofibrils from Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp

Eucalyptus kraft pulping represents an important source for the production of lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNF); however, the influence of controlled residual lignin levels on fibrillation energy demand and suspension stability remains poorly understood. This study e...

Structure–Property–Durability Relationships in Grape-Derived Pectin/Kraft Lignin Films Before and After Accelerated UV Aging

Pectin films are promising renewable materials for biodegradable coatings; however, their high hydrophilicity and limited resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation restrict practical applications. This work investigated the influence of kraft lignin (0–5 wt%) on the structure–prop...
