Lignin valorization: lignin nanoparticles as high-value bio-additive for multifunctional nanocomposites

Abstract Background Although conversion of low value but high-volume lignin by-product to its usable form is one of the determinant factors for building an economically feasible integrated lignocellulose biorefinery, it has been challenged by its structural complexity and inhomogeneity. We and other...
