2016 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Lignin-Based Materials

Lignin is one of the three biopolymers present in forest biomass. It is rich in aromatic and various antioxidants and can act as a platform for various novel materials. This session is intended to focus on lignin based biomaterials, nanocarbons and nanocomposites.
