• Abstract

  The living standard of the modern society is largely based on materials made out of functional plastics. To maintain and improve this standard new sustainable approaches for the production of polymeric-materials have to be considered. The use of bio-based plastics is one approach to tackle this issue. Lignin from biomass is one of the most abundant natural polymers. It is expected that du…
