SAXS/WAXS measurements were performed with the MOUSE instrument . X-rays with a specific wavelength of Cu (λ = 0.15406 nm) were generated in a microfocus X-ray tube equipped with parallelising and monochromatic multilayer optics. A Dectris Pilatus 1M in vacuum was used to measure the scattered signal. The spacing between sample and detector allowed a q range of 0.015 < q < 40 nm-1 in a combined SAXS/WAXS approach. The lignin powder samples were sealed on a sample holder from both sides with Scotch© tape and held in the beam. The data obtained were corrected according to the procedure described in the literature .
