Hydrolized lignin-based sustainable thermoplastics with low carbon foot print
FY 2018-19
Summary
Lignin is an abundant, and renewable by-product with excellent thermal and flame-retardant properties that*could benefit the development of new sustainable thermoplastic composites. The main difficulties related to the*disaggregation and dispersion of softwood and hardwood lignin produced by FPInnovations were successfully*addressed by the previous Engage program. The company is very interested to further optimize this dispersion*techniques for their recently developed Hydrolized Lignin. The investigations during the previous Engage*program revealed an intriguing time-dependence of the elongation at break - a very important parameter- that*need to be elucidated.
