Title: From lignin association to nano-/micro-particle preparation: Extracting higher value of lignin

Abstract

As the most abundant source of renewable aromatic compounds on the planet, lignin is gaining growing interest in replacing petroleum-based chemicals and products. Lignin nanoparticles offer many opportunities for value-added applications of lignin.
