Description This project explores the self-assembly and compositing of lignin colloids (LNCs) for applications in therapy, cosmetics, and emulsification. It focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind LNC formation in different solvents, highlighting the role of lignin's structural properties and interactions. The research aims to guide the preparation and functionalization of LNCs for enhanced utilization in various industries. The findings are crucial for advancing the sustainable use of lignin as a renewable resource in value-added products.
Pathway Description: This project primarily uses the self-assembly process of lignin in various solvents to form lignin colloids (LNCs). The lignin macromolecules aggregate through π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and other non-covalent forces, leading to the formation of nanospheres or composite colloids. The study also reviews different granulation methods to enhance the functionality and application of LNCs. These processes enable the creation of lignin-based materials for therapeutic, cosmetic, and emulsification uses.
