AUTHOR=Glasser Wolfgang G. TITLE=About Making Lignin Great Again—Some Lessons From the Past JOURNAL=Frontiers in Chemistry VOLUME=Volume 7 - 2019 YEAR=2019 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/chemistry/articles/10.3389/fchem.2019.00565 DOI=10.3389/fchem.2019.00565 ISSN=2296-2646 ABSTRACT=Lignin is the second most abundant polymer on Earth, and it can become one of the most important components of sustainable materials manufactured. This requires understanding its structure and the chemical options for compatibilizing it with other polymeric partners in engineered materials.
