Glossary Now Available: From biomass to functional materials – advances in lignin isolation, characterization and applications
We are pleased to announce the publication of a comprehensive glossary entitled From biomass to functional materials: advances in lignin isolation, characterization and applications.
This glossary has been developed to support researchers, students, and professionals working in the fields of lignin chemistry, biomass valorization, and materials science. It offers precise definitions and contextual explanations of key terms, processes, and analytical techniques covered in the publication.
The glossary encompasses the following thematic areas:
Fundamental concepts of lignin: structure, origin, and classification
Native and technical lignin isolation methods
Industrial pulping processes and comparative properties of lignins
Lignin market trends, extraction technologies, and commercial products
Analytical methods including NMR, GPC, FTIR, SEM, and others
Applications of lignin in polymer composites, adsorbents, and value-added products such as vanillin, carbon fibers, and cosmetics
Evaluation of physicochemical and mechanical properties of lignin-based materials
This resource aims to increase the availability of terminology and facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue within the academic community, especially among students, but also secondary school students and the general public, interested in biomass conversion and research into obtaining functional materials, while minimising the generation of polluting waste.
