Lignany

Lignany is a term used in the field of chemistry and materials science to describe a class of materials that are derived from lignin, a complex organic polymer found in the cell walls of plants. Lignin is a major component of wood and other plant tissues, providing structural support and protection. It is composed of phenylpropanoid units, which are linked together through various chemical bonds.

The term "lignany" encompasses a wide range of compounds and materials that are modified or derived from

One of the key advantages of lignany materials is their potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels

However, the utilization of lignin and lignany materials is not without challenges. The complex structure of
