Dear Dr. Zaman,

Lignin is associated with hemicellulose, but not with cellulose within the cell wall. There is evidence of link between lignin and hemicellulose and that hemicellulose is bound to cellulose.

Dear Dr. Paulo Fernando Trugilho ,

Thank you for giving your opinion about this topic. How about after physico-chemical process like steam explosion of biomass where most of the hemicellulose is removed ? Can we utilize it for the functionalization of lignin to react with cellulose ?

Eu penso que isso não é possível, porque a explosão com vapor é um pré-tratamento para melhorar o acesso aos açúcares da celulose e produção de etanol, por exemplo.

Dear Dr. Tazien Rashid ,

Thank you for your valuable opinion! I am trying to make all biomass based composite, that's why had this question in mind.

Regards.
