Nanolignin modified by amino acid-derived deep eutectic solvent as formaldehyde scavenger in urea-formaldehyde resin

Key Points

• Formaldehyde scavenging effectiveness increases with nanolignin modification.
• Key evidence shows a significant reduction of up to 30% formaldehyde emission with modified nanolignin.
• Assessment using deep eutectic solvent effectively enhances nanolignin properties.
• Supports the feasibility of green alternatives in resin production and formaldehyde reduction.
