Abstract
Lignin, traditionally considered a low-value byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, has gained significant attention in recent years as a sustainable precursor for the development of functional materials. This paradigm shift is driven by recent studies exploring the structure–property–performance relationships of lignin-based functional materials, which have provided valuable insights for selective chemical functionalization or pretreatment of lignin. Furthermore, the use of complementary analytical techniques has helped to shed light into lignin’s complex and heterogeneous structure, opening new avenues for chemical modification. Finally, the emergence of colloidal lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) over the past decade has significantly contributed to the advancement and potential applications of lignin-based functional materials in diverse fields, including drug delivery and complex supramolecular systems.
期刊介绍：
Biomacromolecules is a leading forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and biology. Submissions to Biomacromolecules should contain strong elements of innovation in terms of macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, or in the application of polymer materials to biology and medicine.
Topics covered by Biomacromolecules include, but are not exclusively limited to: sustainable polymers, polymers based on natural and renewable resources, degradable polymers, polymer conjugates, polymeric drugs, polymers in biocatalysis, biomacromolecular assembly, biomimetic polymers, polymer-biomineral hybrids, biomimetic-polymer processing, polymer recycling, bioactive polymer surfaces, original polymer design for biomedical applications such as immunotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, antimicrobial applications, diagnostic imaging and biosensing, polymers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels for cell culture and delivery.
