Micro and Nanolignin in Aqueous Dispersions and Polymers:
Interactions, Properties, and Applications presents the very latest
research on lignin biorefinery treatments, production, chemistry,
and refining, exploring a range of innovative applications of
lignin and lignin-based composites at both the micro and the
nanoscale. The book begins by presenting the latest developments in
extraction methods and properties, with topics including methods
for value-added microlignin, color characteristics, refining and
functionalization, depolymerization for phenolic monomer
production, and production of sulphur-free lignin nanoparticles.
This is followed by in-depth sections focusing on the preparation
of lignin for advanced applications at the microscale, then at the
nanoscale, covering a range of areas such as construction, fiber
manufacturing, food packaging, biomedicine, wood preservation,
wastewater treatment, and agriculture. This valuable resource
enables the reader to identify the high added value of a biomass
residue and supports possible development and use for mass and
niche high impact application sectors. This information is of
interest to researchers, scientists, and advanced students, across
bio-based polymers and bio-composites, polymer science and
engineering, nanomaterials, chemistry, sustainable materials,
materials science, and chemical engineering. Moreover, it is also
addressed to the professionals that as well as those in an R&D
industrial setting to are looking on ideas and perspectives on how
to utilize bio-based materials in advanced industrial applications.
Multifunctional Polymeric Nanocomposites Based on Cellulosic
Reinforcements introduces the innovative applications of polymeric
materials based on nanocellulose, and covers extraction methods,
functionalization approaches, and assembly methods to enable these
applications. The book presents the state-of-the-art of this novel
nano-filler and how it enables new applications in many different
sectors, beyond existing products. With a focus on application of
nano-cellulose based polymers with multifunctional activity, the
book explains the methodology of nano-cellulose extraction and
production and shows the potential performance benefits of these
particular nanostructured polymers, for applications across
different sectors, including food active packaging,
energy-photovoltaics, biomedical, and filtration. The book
describes how the different methodologies, functionalization, and
organization at the nano-scale level could contribute to the design
of required properties at macro level. The book studies the
interactions between the main nano-filler with other active systems
and how this interaction enables multi-functionality in the
produced materials. The book is an indispensable resource for the
growing number of scientists and engineers interested in the
preparation and novel applications of nano-cellulose, and for
industrial scientists active in formulation and fabrication of
polymer products based on renewable resources.
