Frontiers in physical chemistry for lignin valorisation Faraday Discussion

The Faraday Discussions are unique international discussion meetings that address current and emerging topics at the forefront of the physical sciences.

Lignins are one of the most abundant components of plant biomass and new concepts for converting lignins into valuable products are important for scientific advances in biorefineries. However the structural complexity of lignins makes understanding their physical-chemical properties challenging.
