The heterogeneous and multifunctional characteristics of lignin is a paradox for its potential in polymer applications. We demonstrate the preparation of small molecules and polymers grafted from lignin via robust click chemistry or facile controlled polymerization. This talk will summarize our recent efforts on lignin chemistry as well as lignin-containing bioplastics and elastomers.
