Methods in Lignin Chemistry edited by Stephen Y. Lin, Carlton W. Dence.

The structural complexity of lignin has continually challenged the in­ genuity of researchers to develop suitable methods for its charac­ terization prior to and following a wide variety of chemical, biologi­ cal, and physical treatments. Initially, activity along these lines was fueled by a desire...
