Designing a Lignocellulosic Bioplastic
This paper concerns the development of thin films from lignocellulosic biopolymers using deep eutectic solvents (DES). The primary objective is to modify the lignin component and alter material properties, through inclusion of ethylene glycol in a previously proven choline chloride based DES. Additionally, citric acid-based systems are investigated as a greener alternative to more conventional DES
