Abstract
Lignin is a promising biopolymer abundantly used in industrially valued biobased products. But the resilient nature of lignin reinforces difficulties during its depolymerization, leading to distinct challenges in manufacturing value-added products. This review aims to provide information on lignin chemistry that imparts thoughtful insights on development of lignin-based biocomposites and hybrid materials that are both economical and environment convivial products. Biological approaches on ligninolytic microorganisms that are also attractive pathways for conversion of lignin into value-added products are elaborated. Further, this review also emphasizes on the recent metagenomics, system biology, and in silico approaches on enhancing the ligninase production from microbial sources and their utilization for the synthesis of lignin-based materials. Finally, updates on the patented lignin biocomposites and hybrid materials have been showcased. It is expected that the review will address the present necessity of waste management issues associated with agro-wastes and simultaneously provide understanding for the technology-based approaches that can be utilized for manufacturing feasible industrially value-added products from lignin as a biomass.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
