Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions that include at least about 75 weight percent (wt %) alkylated lignin based on the total weight of the composition without any solvent(s). The material having a tensile strength of at least about 35 MPa, an elongation-to-break of at least about 1.5%, or both. Articles including such materials and methods of forming the same are also disclosed.
Claims19
An article formed from a composition comprising:
- at least about 75 weight percent (wt %) alkylated native lignin, unalkylated native lignin, or combinations thereof based on the total weight of the composition without any solvent(s), wherein the article has an elongation-at-break of at least about 1.5%, a tensile strength of at least about 35 MPa, or both.
A material formed from a composition, the composition comprising:
- at least about 75 weight percent (wt %) alkylated native lignin, unalkylated native lignin, or combinations thereof based on the total weight of the composition without any solvent(s), the material having a tensile strength of at least about 35 MPa and an elongation-to-break of at least about 1.5%.
