Poly (lactic acid) blends: Processing, properties and applications.
TL;DR: This article compares the syntheses/processing-morphology-properties interrelationships in PLA-based blends developed so far for various applications and considers favorably for biomedical applications and as the most promising substitute for petroleum-based polymers in a wide range of commodity and engineering applications.

Polymer/lignin blends: Interactions, properties, applications
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that lignin forms blends, and these are classified and discussed according to the interactions developing in them, since competitive interactions determine the structure and properties of the blends.

Applications of Lignocellulosic Fibers and Lignin in Bioplastics: A Review
TL;DR: These applications confirm there is no need to remove lignin from lignocellulosic fibers when preparing the bioplastics from a technical point of view, and place importance on the low compatibility of the lignosic fiber–matrix.

Lignin-derived bio-based flame retardants toward high-performance sustainable polymeric materials
TL;DR: In this article, the flame-retardancy effects of pristine lignin and chemically modified Lignin derivatives by introducing the elements phosphorus and/or nitrogen, as well as their synergistic effects with existing flame retardant additives are evaluated.

Lignin in straw of herbaceous crops
Anvar U. Buranov,Giuseppe Mazza +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics and separation of lignin in the straws of corn, wheat, rice and flax are discussed, and the first attempt to generalize the information about the structure and processes for the separation of Lignin from hemicellulose and cellulose in lignocellulosic crop residues is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties of lignin in polypropylene
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of lignin antioxidant properties in polypropylene on stabilisation behavior was investigated. But, the effect on the solubility of PP could not be measured directly; a morphological criterion (average dimension of Lignin aggregates in the blend) has been correlated to antioxidant activity.

Polylactide/montmorillonite nanocomposites: study of the hydrolytic degradation
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites based on polylactide matrix (PLA) and (organo-modified) montmorillonites was investigated in phosphate buffer solution for more than five months.
