• Lignin utilization: A review of lignin depolymerization from various aspects (2019, unknown): “These functional groups affect the reactivity and chemical properties of lignin, especially the hydroxyl groups and aromatic structure are the most critical functional groups to determine the characteristics of the polymers [3,4].”
• Kraft Lignin-Based Rigid Polyurethane Foam (2012, background): “Oxypropylation, the chain extension reaction of Kraft lignin, is always accompanied by the homopolymerization of propylene oxide through transfer reactions following the anionic grafting mechanism.[27,37] The resulting polyol is, in fact, a mixture of oxypropylated lignin and PPO oligomers.”
