"cheap, eco-friendly, additive-free, water-based lignin and cellulose direct ink writing... adjusting lignin, cellulose nanofiber, and nanocrystal ratio, maintaining natural lignin-cellulose balance... close similarities to natural wood in texture, scent and strength... mechanical tests were performed to evaluate compressive and bending strengths, revealing promising results that surpassed those of natural balsa wood"
