Computational modeling of lignin: from molecular structure to functional properties

Lignin is one of the abundant aromatic biopolymers in nature, constituting approximately 15–30% of the lignocellulosic biomass and representing a major renewable source of aromatic carbon. Its high carbon content, high thermal stability, biodegradability, antioxidant property, and ability to absorb ultraviolet radiatio...
