Lignin is a primary component of lignocellulosic biomass and an underutilized feedstock in
the growing pul** and biofuel industries. Currently, over 50 million tons of industrial lignin …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulose is an emerging biorefinery scheme
that combines biomass fractionation with lignin depolymerisation. Central to this scheme is …

Lignin is conventionally defined as being formed by the oxidative polymerization of three
main monolignols, p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol, that are …

Outer protective barriers of animals use a variety of bio‐polymers, based on either proteins
(eg collagens), or modified sugars (eg chitin). Plants, however, have come up with a …

Hydrolyzing lignocellulose, the most abundant biomass raw material in nature, into
monosaccharides by enzymes and then transforming the sugars into chemicals and fuels by …

This study investigates the possibility of using agro-industrial wastes for building products,
mainly focusing on their insulation properties. A classification of bio-wastes is provided …

The periderm acts as armor protecting the plant's inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stress.
It forms during the radial thickening of plant organs such as stems and roots and replaces …

At a time when environmental considerations are increasingly pushing for the application of
circular economy concepts in materials science, lignin stands out as an under-used but …

As a highly abundant natural and renewable aromatic polymer, lignin has been proven to be
a good UV-absorber and natural broad-spectrum sun blocker. The structure-activity …

The objective of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of lignin composition and
structure in different species and materials (wood, barks and nonwood plants). It includes a …
