Session: Biobased Materials II: Lignin-Based Materials (2011 Annual Meeting)

Wednesday, October 19, 2011: 12:30 PM

102 E (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:

Lignin is one of the three biopolymers present in forest biomass. It is rich in aromatic and various antioxidants and can act as a platform for various novel materials. This session is intended to focus on lignin based biomaterials, nanocarbons and nanocomposites.
