Summary

Lignocellulosic biomass was converted into plastic- and paper-like films by dissolving wood in formic acid without ball milling or catalysts, then reassembling the formylated cell wall components by casting. The ultra-mild process offers a simpler route to renewable bio-based film materials from wood.

Lignocellulosic biomass was converted into plastic- and paper-like films via solubilization in formic acid without using ball milling and added catalysts. The formylated cell wall components were reassembled after casting.
