description | Lignin is an indispensable and essential compound present in plants. It is a renewable resource and a green alternative to traditional petroleum energy. The rational utilization of lignin can reduce the environmental damage caused by traditional industrial development. The preparation of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) using the self-assembly method is one of the most favorable ways to achieve high value-added utilization of lignin. However, the process requires an in-depth understanding of the sphere-forming mechanism of lignin self-assembly and the interaction of self-assembly forces. We used the same raw materials and two different preparation methods to prepare LNPs. The results revealed that the variation in the order of the dropwise addition of lignin solution and deionized water produced LNPs with varying average sizes. The sphere-forming mechanisms of the two kinds of lignin nanoparticles were discussed for the preparation of UV-resistant polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymeric films. During lignin spherification, the faster the solution reaches the supersaturation state, the faster the spherogenesis rate is, the smaller the size is, and the narrower the particle size distribution is. The lignin micro/nanospheres are produced by exploiting the π–π bonding interactions in lignin itself. The lignin micro/nanospheres are then mixed with PVA to form a film to obtain a lignin–PVA composite film material with an anti-UV effect. |
