TL;DR: Recent developments in genetic engineering, enhanced extraction methods, and a deeper understanding of the structure of lignin are yielding promising opportunities for efficient conversion of this renewable resource to carbon fibers, polymers, commodity chemicals, and fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of current and future softwood kraft lignin process chemistry
TL;DR: The structure of lignin has remained one of the most difficult biopolymers to characterize, however recent advances in analytical chemistry and spectroscopy have dramatically improved our knowledge of this natural resource as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benworth Hansen,Stephanie Spittle,Brian Chen,Derrick Poe,Yong Zhang,Jeffrey M. Klein,Alexandre Horton,Laxmi Adhikari,Tamar Zelovich,Brian W. Doherty,Burcu Gurkan,Edward J. Maginn,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Mark Dadmun,Thomas A. Zawodzinski,Gary A. Baker,Mark E. Tuckerman,Robert F. Savinell,Joshua Sangoro +18 more
TL;DR: A detailed review of the current literature reveals the lack of predictive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms that govern the structure-property relationships in deep eutectic solvents, and highlights recent research efforts to elucidate the next steps needed to develop a fundamental framework needed for a deeper understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic manipulation of lignin reduces recalcitrance and improves ethanol production from switchgrass
Chunxiang Fu,Jonathan R. Mielenz,Xirong Xiao,Yaxin Ge,Choo Hamilton,Miguel Á. Rodríguez,Fang Chen,Marcus Foston,Arthur J. Ragauskas,Joseph H. Bouton,Richard A. Dixon,Zeng-Yu Wang +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that genetic modification of switchgrass can produce phenotypically normal plants that have reduced thermal-chemical, enzymatic, and microbial recalcitrance, which has the potential to lower processing costs for biomass fermentation-derived fuels and chemicals significantly.
