Lignin is produced in large quantities as a by-product of the papermaking and biofuel
industries. Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on the planet with its chemical …

Lignin, as the most abundant aromatic biopolymer in nature, has attracted great attention
due to the complexity and richness of its functional groups for value‐added applications. The …

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable resource for the production of
biobased value‐added fuels, chemicals, and materials, but its effective exploitation by an …

The formation of lignin-like structures by the degradation primarily of plant polysaccharides
has been observed after the severe thermochemical acidic pretreatment of lignocellulosic …

Lignocellulosic biomass has been acknowledged for potential use to produce chemicals
and biomaterials. Lignin is the second most abundant natural polymer with cellulose being …

The complex interlacing structure among cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and the unique
properties of lignin itself limit the value-added utilization of the lignin. As the “upstream” …

The demand for efficient utilization of biomass induces a detailed analysis of the
fundamental chemical structures of biomass, especially the complex structures of lignin …

Searching for renewable alternatives for fossil carbon resources to produce chemicals, fuels
and materials is essential for the development of a sustainable society. Lignin, a major …

This work tailored a promising two-step pretreatment, ie, liquid hot water extraction followed
by mild acidic deep eutectic solvents pretreatment for clean lignocellulose fractionation …

The molecular weight of lignin is a fundamental property that influences the recalcitrance of
biomass and the valorization of lignin. The determination of the molecular weight of lignin in …
