Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as versatile, green reaction media for the effective fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass into its principal components—cellulose, hemicellulose and ...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a class of designer solvents formed by mixing a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) to create a eutectic mixture with a melting point lower ...

Many polluting solvents used by the chemical industry can be replaced by an amazing new mixture of two powders: 'deep-eutectic solvents' (DES). This next generation of solvents are sustainable, much ...

Lignin, the glue that holds fibers together in trees and plants, is one of the most common yet one of the most complex biocomposites, because there are so many variants and qualities. Its ...
