Abstract:Spherical lignin nanoparticles are emerging biobased nanomaterials, but instability and dissolution in organic solvents and aqueous alkali restricts their applicability. Here we report synthesis of hydroxymethylated lignin nanoparticles and their hydrothermal curing to stabilize the particles by internal crosslinking reactions. These colloidally stable particles contain a high bio-based content of 97% with a tunable particle size distribution and structural stability in aqueous media (pH 3 to 12) and organic s… Show more
