Cellulose-containing compositions and method of making same are disclosed. The compositions comprise a cellulose product comprising a type-I cellulose, a type-II cellulose, amorphous cellulose, or a combination thereof. Further, methods are disclosed for making these compositions and for further hydrolyzing these compositions. Additionally, uses for the cellulose-containing compositions are disclosed.

Cellulose-containing compositions and methods of making same

Admixtures comprising an adhesive resin and cellulose are disclosed, in which at least a portion of the cellulose is type-II cellulose. Also disclosed are compositions comprising adhesive resins, in which the adhesive resins comprise a condensation product of formaldehyde and at least one phenolic compound, and the condensation product is formed in the presence of cellulose, wherein at least a portion of the cellulose is type-II cellulose. Articles of manufacture containing the admixtures and compositions, such as plywood and oriented strand board, are also disclosed. In addition, methods of preparing the compositions and articles of manufacture are disclosed.

Adhesive compositions comprising type-II cellulose

Disclosed are methods of functionalizing lignin using reactive extraction. The invention also generally relates to functionalized lignin. An exemplary method for producing functionalized lignin is disclosed, which comprises: providing a residue comprising lignin and cellulose; subjecting the residue to a liquid comprising an organic compound, thereby forming a first mixture; wherein the subjecting is performed at a first temperature of about 100&#xb0; C. or less; and wherein the first mixture comprises: a first liquid fraction comprising solubilized functionalized lignin, wherein the solubilized functionalized lignin is functionalized with the organic compound; and a first solid fraction comprising cellulose.

Upgrading lignin from lignin-containing residues through reactive extraction

Disclosed are methods for preparing and collecting a polyaromatic compound. Also disclosed are products comprising a polyaromatic compound.

Methods for preparing and collecting polyaromatic compounds, and products comprising polyaromatic compounds

Disclosed are lignins and lignin compositions having high purity. Also disclosed are lignins having unique structural characteristics, including less structural degradation than conventional lignins.
