Electrochemical Survey of Silver Nanoparticles-Lignosulfonate Formation and their Assessment in the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of P-Nitrophenol

Lignin-Mediated Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis for Photocatalytic Degradation of Reactive Yellow 4G and In Vitro Assessment of Antioxidant, Antidiabetic, and Antibacterial Activities

“…LS has been extensively used as a dispersing agent for pesticides, dyes, and oil, as flocculating agents for water purification, and as a concrete water-reducer due to its certain advantageous physicochemical properties, as well as its being abundantly available, inexpensive, and eco-friendly [ 12 , 13 ]. Moreover, LS has been studied for metal NPs and metal–organic NP synthesis, for example LS-mediated ZnO NPs as an antibacterial agent; LS-fabricated Ag NPs for the removal of dyes; NaLS/SiO 2 composite sphere particles for drug delivery; LS-synthesized Ag NPs for heavy-metal sensing, and also for electrocatalytic applications [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Insights into the physico-chemical and biological characterization of sodium lignosulfonate - silver nanosystems designed for wound management

“…For example, NaLS macromolecules exhibit oblate conformations and negatively charged surfaces, with tendencies of self-assembly and loosely aggregate in water [ [51] , [52] , [53] ]. Thus, NaLS not only triggers the formation and stabilization of AgNPs, but it could further protect them in either physico-chemical or biological aggressive environments, mediates their attachment/confinement on surfaces, tunes the release of silver ions, and allows the design of complex material, extending the applicative field [ [54] , [55] , [56] ]. In this regard, we have previously reported, probably for the first time, the use of NaLS for the reduction and stabilization of silver ions, in the absence of any additional process, as one of the simplest, facile, cost-efficient, and greener synthesis for obtaining stable and catalytically active AgNPs [ 56 , 57 ], which was later confirmed by works reported by other groups [ 58 , 59 ].…”

On the other hand, due to their intrinsic structural and functional properties and especially to a large spectrum of antimicrobial activity, AgNPs are still in the focus for the development of novel strategies to control wound infections and promote the healing process [ 60 ].…”

Effects of different polypropylene and ammonium lignosulfonate contents on the crystallization behavior, rheological behaviors, and mechanical properties of ethylene propylene diene monomer/ polypropylene/ ammonium lignosulfonate composites

“…Lignosulfonate is a water-soluble anionic surfactant; as such, it has a characteristic surface activity and has many applications (Palmqvist et al 2006;Vishtal and Kraslawski 2011;Chandra et al 2015;Khazieva et al 2015), including as an adhesive for drilling (Zhang and Yin 2002), detergent, glue, animal feed, particleboards (Jin et al 2010), and cement additive (Grierson et al 2005;Ansari and Pawlik 2007). Recently, there have many studies on the composite material combined from lignosulfonate with some polymer materials to improve the composite performances, including flame retardancy (Lu et al 2018), thermal properties and thermal stabilization (Shao et al 2017), dispersion property (Liu 2018), conductivity (Arvinte et al 2017;Shao et al 2018), spinnability (Ouyang et al 2017), dye-adsorption performance (Lü et al 2017), absorbency (Lv et al 2018), crystallization behavior (Ye et al 2017), and so on.…”
