Valorization of Lignin Based Nanoparticle from Grass Biomass: An Overview on Synthesis, Characterization and Application

Abstract

The Lignin-related nanomaterials have received a lot of attention from the academic and industry communities in the present nanotechnology research area. Advanced performance can be provided by converting lignin into micro and nanostructures, which may be formed using practical standard apparatus. To improve the functionality of the applications, tunable lignin nanoparticles may also be produced. Because lignin contains a variety of chemical moieties and has a unique network structure, it has useful qualities such UV absorbance, biodegradability, stabilizing and reinforcing effects, as well as anti-fungal and antibiotic action. Thus, the nanoscale transformation of lignin and its translation into nanomaterials might definitely open up new possibilities for the development of novel materials with intriguing features.
