The performance and applications of lignin based hydrogels: a review

摘要:

木质素是自然界中储量仅次于纤维素的木质纤维素资源,也是唯一的天然芳香族聚合物,其衍生的高值化产品可以应用于多个领域。木质素的高效高值高质生产是木质纤维素生物炼制的关键所在,但木质素大分子结构复杂多变、反应的活性差、官能团冗杂,制备出性能稳定的高分子材料有一定的难度。随着木质素改性的研究越来越深入,木质素复合水凝胶的应用也受到了极大的关注。本文从木质素的基本结构组成与反应特性出发,简要概括了木质素复合水凝胶的制备方法;具体介绍了木质素复合水凝胶的应用现状,包括生物传感器、控制释放材料、环境响应材料、吸附材料、电极材料以及其他材料的应用;综述了木质素复合水凝胶的最新研究与应用进展,并对木质素制备复合水凝胶的发展前景进行了评述。

Abstract:

Lignin is the only natural aromatic polymer and the second most abundant lignocellulosic resource in nature after cellulose, and its derived high-value products can be used in a variety of fields. An efficient, highly value-added and high-quality production of lignin is critical for lignocellulose biorefinery,but the complex and variable structure of lignin macromolecules, poor activity of reactions, and redundant functional groups make it difficult to prepare polymeric materials with stable properties. With the increasing research on lignin modification, the application of lignin composite hydrogels has also received great attention. In this paper, the preparation of lignin composite hydrogels based on the basic structural composition and reaction properties of lignin was briefly outlined. The current applications of lignin composite hydrogels, including biosensors, controlled release materials, environmentally responsive materials, adsorbent materials, electrode materials, and other materials, were summarized. Moreover,future perspectives of lignin-based composite hydrogels were prospected.
