Access to tough and transparent nanocomposites <i>via</i> Pickering emulsion polymerization using biocatalytic hybrid lignin nanoparticles as functional surfactants

Abstract

Coating of lignin nanoparticles with chitosan and glucose oxidase allows for the green synthesis of acrylic and vinyl polymers in Pickering emulsions. The resulting dispersions offer a green route to tough composites equipped with antioxidant activity.
