Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Lignin Nanoparticles (LNPs)

Lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) have been synthesized employing the acid precipitation technology. The particle size of LNP was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. The particular advantage of this approach is the absence of particle aggregation, and formation of individual and randomly distributed nanoparticles. Furthermore, this method was facile and the process was completely green, which can be suitable utilized to further development of green nanoparticles synthesis on a large-scale.
