Here, we report a scalable screen-printing process along with continuous pad-dry-cure treatment for the creation of durable graphene oxide (GO) patterns onto viscose nonwoven fabrics at controllable penetration depth. All the printed nonwovens show lower sheet resistances (1.2-6.8 kΩ/sq) at a comparable loading, as those reported in the literature, and good washfastness, which is attributed to the chemical cross-linking applied between reduced GO (rGO) flakes and viscose fibers. This is the first demonstration of tunable penetration depth of GO in textile matrices, wherein GO is also simultaneously converted to rGO and cross-linked with viscose fibers in our processes. We have further demonstrated the potential applications of these nonwoven fabrics as physical sensors for compression and bending.}, number={16}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Qu, Jiangang and He, Nanfei and Patil, Shradha V. and Wang, Yanan and Banerjee, Debjyoti and Gao, Wei}, year={2019}, month={Apr}, pages={14944–14951} }

Although there have been various speculations over the years on the formation of these stable radicals, researchers have not been able to arrive at a solid, unequivocal hypothesis that applies to all treatments and types of lignin. The extreme complexity of lignin and its highly aromatic, cross‐linked, branched, and rigid structure has made such efforts rather cumbersome. Since the early 1950s, researchers in this field have dedicated their efforts to the establishment of methods for the detection and determination of spin content, theoretical simulations, and reactions on model compounds and spin‐trapping studies. Although a significant amount of published research is available on lignin or its model compounds and the reactive intermediates involved during various chemical treatments (pulping, bleaching, extractions, chemical modifications, etc.), the literature provides a limited view on the origin, nature, and stability of such radicals. Consequently, this review is focused on examining the origin of such species in lignin, factors affecting their presence, reactions involved in their formation, and methods for their detection.}, number={17}, journal={CHEMSUSCHEM}, author={Patil, Shradha V. and Argyropoulos, Dimitris S.}, year={2017}, month={Sep}, pages={3284–3303} }

This noble goal can be achieved by adding carbon onto lignin via propargylation. The reactivity of propargylated lignins may then be modulated via methylation, thus eliminating the onset of gelation via phenoxyl radical initiated random polymerization. This article demonstrates that properly installed propargyl groups of an acetone soluble kraft lignin (ASKL) fraction can be thermally polymerized to high molecular weights in a controlled manner. In order to create single component chain extended softwood kraft lignin systems for carbon fiber applications, one needs to regulate the amount and the positioning of the propargyl groups on the lignin. This became possible, and it is now demonstrated that the propargylation of lignin needs to occur first, followed by methylation and not the other way around. Such a sequence offers substantial benefits for the onset of a Claisen rearrangement to occur between the propar...}, number={10}, journal={ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING}, author={Sadeghifar, Hasan and Sen, Sanghamitra and Patil, Shradha V. and Argyropoulos, Dimitris S.}, year={2016}, month={Oct}, pages={5230–5237} }
