Abstract
<p>Lignin, the most abundant natural aromatic compound on earth, offers valuable resources for the development of bio�Cbased polymers. In recent years, a plethora of diverse polymer materials has been reported using either separated lignin or lignin�Cderived monomers. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of recent achievements and compare these two well�Cknown strategies. While utilizing lignin directly as starting materials has advantages in terms of cost�Ceffectiveness and wider options, employing lignin�Cderived monomers suffer from higher costs and limited structural variety. However, the well�Cdefined structure of lignin-derived aromatic monomers, and retention of functional group characteristics make this a promising strategy for future applications. Through this review paper, we aim to inspire more researchers in material science to focus on lignin��an intriguing and emerging carbon-neutral biomaterial.</p>
