Lignin is the main natural resource of aromatic structures on
Earth. With the depletion of fossil oil and increased environmental
concerns, renewable resources for energy and chemical production
have attracted tremendous attention from scientists and engineers.
As a renewable aromatic polymer, lignin has been, for a long time,
studied in terms of its biosynthesis, structures, reactivities and
applications although few portions of lignins available from the
industry, mainly pulping mills, have been utilised for various
applications. The key for complete and efficient utilisation of
lignins is that all aspects, including lignin biosynthesis,
structures, functionalities, and properties, about lignins should
be understood. Another important attribute related to lignin
utilisation comes from analytical methods essential for our
understanding of lignins and mechanisms involved in various
processes. This book provides critical reviews and the latest
research results relating to selected fields of lignin
biosynthesis, functional characterisation and applications.
