The use of biologically derived polymers is emerging as an
important component of sustainable economic development. Technical
lignins, derivatives from naturally occurring lignin polymers in
woody plants, are generated commercially in large quantities -- up
to 70 million tons world-wide annually. Besides being burned as
fuels, only a small percentage of these lignins are used for
various applications because technical lignins present relatively
unpredictable structural characteristics and are therefore
unreliable feedstocks to make products with consistent and
satisfactory quality. Over the past two decades, there has been
great progress in the research and commercialisation of
lignin-based products and processes that add significant value to
lignins. This book provides critical reviews and the latest
research results relating to selected fields of lignin structural
analysis and applications. Featuring the significant advances in
selected topics of the lignin research field, this reference book
is for college students and scientists with the intent of promoting
further research and innovations in this specialised field.
