Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin-based carbon fibers for composite fiber applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a fusible lignin with excellent spinnability to form a fine filament was produced with a thermal pretreatment under vacuum, but at PEO levels greater than 5%, the blends could not be stabilized without the individual fibers fusing together.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of cellulase, xylanase and β-glucosidase activities by softwood lignin preparations
Alex Berlin,Mikhail Yu. Balakshin,Neil R. Gilkes,John F. Kadla,Vera Maximenko,Satoshi Kubo,John N. Saddler +6 more
TL;DR: This study examines the inhibition of seven cellulase preparations, three xylanase preparations and a beta-glucosidase preparation by two purified, particulate lignin preparations derived from softwood using an organosolv pretreatment process followed by enzymatic hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen bonding in lignin: a Fourier transform infrared model compound study.
Satoshi Kubo,John F. Kadla +1 more
TL;DR: The difference in hydrogen bonding between hardwood and softwood lignin and the observed differences in the glass transition temperature are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin-based Carbon Fibers: Effect of Synthetic Polymer Blending on Fiber Properties
Satoshi Kubo,John F. Kadla +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the lignin-based carbon fiber properties improved upon blending with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polypropylene (PP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(Ethylene Oxide)/Organosolv Lignin Blends: Relationship between Thermal Properties, Chemical Structure, and Blend Behavior
Satoshi Kubo,John F. Kadla +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a negative polymer−polymer interaction energy density was calculated on the basis of the melting point depression of PEO and a negative deviation of Tg from the weighted average values observed.
