Properties And Characterization Of Lignin Nanoparticles Reinforced Biopolymer Films

This study presents a new, constructive, essential, and critical idea for the fabrication of biopolymer films from a red seaweed matrix (Kappaphycus alvarezii) with the incorporation of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs). Globally, various environmental issues are already attributed to petroleum-based plas...
