- Lignin - Wikipedia
Lignin Idealized structure of lignin from a softwood Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants [1] Lignins are particularly important in the formation of cell walls, especially in wood and bark, because they lend rigidity and do not rot easily
- Lignin | Definition, Function, Uses, Facts | Britannica
lignin, complex oxygen-containing organic polymer that, with cellulose, forms the chief constituent of wood It is second to cellulose as the most abundant organic material on Earth, though relatively few industrial uses other than as a fuel have been found
- What is Lignin? Definition, Uses, and Processes - Carbon Credits
Lignin is the second most abundant organic polymer on Earth and it’s also the largest natural source of aromatic monomers It is what makes the plant’s structure firm and resistant to rotting

- Lignin | C18H13N3Na2O8S2 | CID 175586 - PubChem
The most abundant natural aromatic organic polymer found in all vascular plants Lignin together with cellulose and hemicellulose are the major cell wall components of the fibers of all wood and grass species Lignin is composed of coniferyl, p-coumaryl, and sinapyl alcohols in varying ratios in different plant species (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
- Whats Lignin?
Lignin is an organic substance binding the cells, fibres and vessels which constitute wood and the lignified elements of plants, as in straw After cellulose, it is the most abundant renewable carbon source on Earth
- Lignin Structure: Unraveling the Macromolecular Complexity
Lignin is a complex biopolymer essential to plant cell walls, providing structural integrity, regulating water transport, and resisting microbial attack Its intricate macromolecular structure makes it one of the most chemically diverse natural polymers, posing challenges for both scientific understanding and industrial applications
- LIGNIN AND ITS USES - US Forest Service Research and Development
A review of current uses of chemically modified lignin, primarily the lignosulfonates, indicates a variety of applications and a challenge to scientists to find new uses Introduction Lignin is the stuff that makes plants “woody ” The name comes from the neuter Latin noun “lignum” meaning “wood ” Most, but not all, plants contain
