| Abstract Scope |
Sustainability has become important and integral component of materials synthesis. Research and development of materials from agricultural biomass is critical from sustainability perspective. Lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose are the important constituents of biomass. Among these compounds, lignin is the most difficult to valorize. In the presentation, I will present the research efforts of my research group to develop and design biomass-based nanomaterials with special emphasis on lignin. Detailed microstructural and particle size characterization of these novel materials will be presented. |
