Lignin based nano-composites: Synthesis and applications

Lignin-derived bionanocomposites as functional food packaging materials

“…23 Native lignin, when considered as a single entity, is unable to provide the expected interaction and performance-boosting properties compared to nano-sized lignins. 24 Nanolignins have demonstrated improved water sensing, mechanical, UV shielding, and thermal performance capabilities when impregnated with gluten-containing nanostructures. In contaminated water systems, chitosan and nanolignins have shown methyl orange scavenging ability up to 83%.…”

Renewable lignin and its macromolecule derivatives: an emerging platform toward sustainable electrochemical energy storage

“…1a). 10,11 It is a complex racemic aromatic hetero-polymer, mainly derived from three monolignols with different degrees of methoxylation: p -coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl. These monomers produce p -hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), and syringyl (S) units respectively (Fig.…”

Synthesis and properties of ion-exchange materials based on hydrolysis lignins

“…The development of biologically based composites and nanocomposites is extremely important in the current environmental situation [1]. Lignins contain many hydroxyl groups that can participate in chemical reactions to produce value-added products [2].…”

“…A deeper thermolysis of GL leads to the production of a carbon material, and then, under appropriate thermal conditions, graphites are obtained [3][4][5], which have a large specific surface area and are promising for creating new nanocomposite membranes and filters with high chemical and thermal stability. Adsorbents have a wide range of industrial applications, but they are mostly expensive [1]. In the production of ion-exchange materials, it is important to use cheap sorbents, which, along with a high ion-exchange capacity, would have good physicochemical and physicomechanical characteristics.…”
