Advancing Sustainability: From Bio-based Materials to Nanostructured Polymers for Battery Membrane Applications

From a materials standpoint, polymer sustainability efforts can be accelerated through the sourcing of materials from renewable feedstocks, along with the harnessing of polymer/plastics waste in the creation of closed-loop frameworks that valorize traditional waste. For the renewables case, lignin is the largest natural source of aromatic carbon on the planet, and thus, lignin-derived products have emerged as critical elements in the next generation of polymers.
