Development of colorless wood via two-step delignification involving alcoholysis and bleaching with maintaining natural hierarchical structure

Abstract Lignin-free wood has been successfully developed via a two-step chemical treatment while maintaining its inherent hierarchical structure. The first step was alcoholysis which was conducted using ethylene glycol, and whose condition was optimized by monitoring the removal of lignin using inf...
