Lignin: A Review on Structure, Properties, and Applications as a Light-Colored UV Absorber
Open accessAbstract
Lignin is a promising UV-shielding material to substitute the synthetic absorbers in a composite due to its excellent UV-shielding property. The chromophores group of lignin is responsible for the UV-shielding property of composites, but it brings an undesirable dark color. This perspective is the first to review the recent progress on fabricating light-colored UV-shielding composites that contain lignin; we provide a clear picture of the concept of light-colored UV-absorbing lignin composite materials that can be used in food packaging, healthcare products, and solar panel protection. The UV-absorbing and photostability mechanisms are introduced by correlating UV absorption with intrinsic factors, like phenolic substructures and molecular weight of lignin. Extrinsic factors that affect the UV-shielding properties and color of lignin, such as the extraction process, chemical modification method, and obtained size of lignin, are also systematically discussed in this perspective. By summarizing recent studies on the synergetic effect between the lignin and the second constitute materials, this perspective discusses the benefits of lignin to the composite’s overall properties, such as stability under UV radiation, mechanical property, dispersity, and water permeability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
