Abstract

Lignocelluloses originate mainly from forest resources and are traditionally utilized in paper, textiles, energy, and chemicals. The benefit of the raw material has been price, renewability, and feel, the latter mainly in hygiene products and textiles. The increase in environmental concerns has made it possible to justify the expansion of target applications made from lignocellulosics and that endeavor governs the majority of current research activities in the field. The search for new applications has led to the utilization of forest beyond the mere fibers, and those possibilities are reviewed in this chapter.
