Lignin has been used as retardants of fire, thermal stabilizer, hydrophobicity agent, carbon fiber, aerogels and antioxidants. This review summarizes several uses of lignin-based components and their potential applications. We focused on the industrial uses of lignin in order to diminish the dependence of petroleum-based materials.204-223engApplicationsbiomaterialbiopolymerligninpropertiesResenha10.1080/15421406.2017.1360713Acesso aberto2-s2.0-850382156952-s2.0-85038215695.pdf
