The Slovenian Research Agency approved funding for a 3-year research project titled “Effects of lignin degradation on paper-based materials in extreme conditions”. The project will explore the effect of lignin degradation on cellulose-based materials in two “extreme” contexts: during composting and long-term environmental degradation. The variables affecting the degradation pathways as well as the degradation …
