Recently, the demand for biodegradable, eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives has been
on the increase. Although numerous biopolymers such as cellulose, starch, plants proteins …

Regardless of considerable progress in synthetic plastic or polymer-based industry, its low
biodegradability is a critical issue. Nevertheless, natural “biopolymers” are gradually …

The heterogeneity and complexity of lignin necessitate a deep understanding to select the
most appropriate lignin valorization and convert it into value-added products. The objective …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable resource on earth and currently
most of this biomass is considered a low-value waste. Specifically, lignin is an underrated …

Grape stalks are lignocellulosic residues that can be valorized through the extraction of
lignin-an underutilized biopolymer with high potential. Two lignin extraction methods …

In this review, we discuss recent advancements in lignin-based spherical nanocomposites.
Targeted studies are focused on the overall design and structure, functionalization, the …

It is known that some organic materials show a good capacity for selective removal of Cr (VI)
from contaminated water; however, the exact mechanism of such removal has yet to be …

Lignins are phenolic macromolecules that have several applications. In this work, we
examine some biological activities of a lignin-like macromolecule isolated from the Crataeva …

Sesame is an industrial crop widely planted in China. Sesame capsules and stalks are by-
products of sesame oil production. The production of these byproducts is large, but their …

The effects of steam explosion (SE) pretreatment on the structural properties of lignin
isolated from coconut husk (CH) biomass via soda pulping were investigated in this work …
