Abstract
Renewable biopolymers from different natural sources have attracted much attention in the recent past years because of their use in different areas such as food, cosmetics, medicines, fuels and construction materials. Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer on earth after cellulose is an attractive material for the development of low-cost biodegradable products. Its availability, low cost, biocompatibility and properties make this biopolymer a potential candidate for producing many high value-added products. In this review, we discuss about the preparation techniques involved in the fabrication of various lignin-based coatings and their industrial applications such as UV curing agents, hybrid polymer nanocomposites, anticorrosive agents, antimicrobial agents, antifoulants, flame retardants etc.
