The book begins by presenting the latest developments in extraction methods and properties, with topics including methods for value-added microlignin, color characteristics, refining and functionalization, depolymerization for phenolic monomer production, and production of sulphur-free lignin nanoparticles. This is followed by in-depth sections focusing on the preparation of lignin for advanced applications at the microscale, then at the nanoscale, covering a range of areas such as construction, fiber manufacturing, food packaging, biomedicine, wood preservation, wastewater treatment, and agriculture.
This valuable resource enables the reader to identify the high added value of a biomass residue and supports possible development and use for mass and niche high impact application sectors. This information is of interest to researchers, scientists, and advanced students, across bio-based polymers and bio-composites, polymer science and engineering, nanomaterials, chemistry, sustainable materials, materials science, and chemical engineering. Moreover, it is also addressed to the professionals that as well as those in an R&D industrial setting to are looking on ideas and perspectives on how to utilize bio-based materials in advanced industrial applications.
- Provides detailed information on extraction methods, properties, refining and functionalization processes
- Guides the reader through the preparation of lignin both at the micro and nanoscale, as a filler, a matrix, and in all-lignin composites
- Takes a design-for-application approach, opening the door to high value applications across a range of sectors
Academic: Researchers, scientists, and advanced students, across bio-based polymers and bio-composites, polymer science, nanomaterials, chemistry, sustainable materials, materials science and engineering, and chemical engineering. Industry: Scientists, R&D, and engineers looking to utilize bio-based materials in advanced industrial applications (e.g. construction, additive manufacturing, packaging, biomedical, agriculture)
