Abstract
Hydrogels, including PVA hydrogels, have numerous applications in many fields; however, their poor mechanical strength limits their utilization potential. Lignin, the most abundant aromatic biopolymer in nature from lignocellulosic biomass, is presently under-utilized. Herein, we used lignin to improve strength and impart pH-responsive properties of PVA hydrogel. The lignin reinforced PVA (LRP) hydrogel has a maximum storage modulus of 83.1 kPa,...
