Despite the enormous research efforts in recent years regarding lignin depolymerisation and
functionalisation, few commercial products are available. This review provides a summary …

Replacing petroleum-based products with inexpensive, biorenewable, natural materials is
important for sustainable development and will have a significant impact on the polymer …

Lignin is a substantial component of lignocellulosic biomass but is under-utilized relative to
the cellulose and hemicellulose components. Historically, lignin has been burned as a …

This work aimed to evaluate the influence of the aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl level on the
polyurethane adhesive property and chemical structure. This adhesive was obtained …

Novel cationic waterborne polyurethanes (cWPU) were synthesized by step‐growth
polymerization of hydroxyl telechelic natural rubber, molecular weight of 2800 g mol− 1 …

A series of new bio‐based aromatic diisocyanates, namely bis (4‐isocyanato‐2‐
methoxyphenoxy) alkane and bis (4‐isocyanato‐2, 6‐dimethoxyphenoxy) alkane, were …

Vanillin is a high value flavor and fragrance ingredient which is mostly sourced from
synthetic route with a small fraction obtained from natural vanilla. The catalytic upgrading of …

Lignin-derived chemicals have great potential as feedstock to produce polymeric materials,
due to the low cost and high abundance of lignin biomass. Lignin is one of the few …

Valorization of pyrolytic lignin to fuels and chemicals is still poorly understood due to its ill-
defined structure and the complexity of the decomposition chemistry. To shed some light on …

Biobased polymers with tunable properties have received increased attention in the
literature due to a decline in petroleum reserves. Owing to its low cost, abundance, and …
