Synthesis of methacrylated‐lignin and formation of lignin NCs by crosslinking in miniemulsion. A) Methacrylation of lignin with methacrylic anhydride (note: representative structure of lignin may vary depending on the biological source). B) Photo of ≈600 mL of lignin NC dispersion (1 wt%). C) Crosslinking mechanism of lignin NCs in miniemulsion. D) Transmission electron microscopy image of lignin NCs.
