The demethylation of lignin was conducted under HBr catalysis and microwave irradiation resulting in a demethylation rate of 21.4% as calculated from 1 H NMR. The demethylated lignin (DL) was applied to modify halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) forming a nano-hybrid containing 16.5 wt% of DL according to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
