New Engineered Materials from Biobased Plastics and Lignin

The blending of lignin as a component in a thermoplastic blend poses a challenge in the form of dispersion and compatibility. Polyesters such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) offer the best opportunity of compatibility in melt blending with lignin due to their ability...
