Synthesis and characterization of lignin carbon fiber and composites
In this study, continuous lignin fibers from switchgrass have been successfully synthesized via multifilament melt-spinning and converted to carbon fibers using optimized stabilization and carbonization techniques. Unidirectional lignin carbon fiber reinforced composites are produced using a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process for the first time. Produced lignin carbon fiber is evaluated in mechanical, interfacial, and microstructural areas....
