The Formation and Deconstruction of Lignin Carbohydrate Complexes (LCCs) in Lignocellulosic Biomass
DownloadFall 2024
Current biomass fractionation technologies are not atom efficient, which is primarily a result of its recalcitrance. Although covalent linkages between lignin and cellulose/hemicellulose, commonly referred to as lignin carbohydrate complexes (LCCs), have been identified to directly correlate with...
