Abstract
The present disclosure describes articles that include decomposition products from biodegradable compounds, and related methods.
Claims18
An article, comprising:
- a biodegradable material comprising a wt % of lignin of greater than or equal 0.05 wt % and/or less than or equal to 7 wt % and having a first portion and a second portion;
- and
- an intrinsic binder comprising a decomposition product of the biodegradable material, wherein the intrinsic binder is bound to the first portion and the second portion of the biodegradable material,
- wherein:
- a thickness of the article is greater than or equal to 1 mm and/or less than or equal to 25 mm;
- a porosity of the article is greater than or equal to 25% and less than or equal to 80%;
- a density of the article is greater than or equal to 0.3 g/cm3 and less than or equal to 1.8 g/cm3;
- and
- an amount of glucan in the article is less than or equal to 47 wt %.

A method, comprising:
- with a biodegradable material comprising a wt % of lignin of greater than or equal 0.05 wt % and/or less than or equal to 7 wt % and having a first portion and a second portion, performing the steps of:
- reducing a particle size of the biodegradable material to an average diameter of less than or equal to 10 mm and/or greater than or equal to 1 mm;
- degrading at least a portion of the biodegradable material into a decomposition product of the biodegradable material and a degraded material;
- and
- forming an intrinsic binder comprising the decomposition product of the biodegradable material, wherein the intrinsic binder is bound to the first portion and the second portion of the biodegradable material,
- wherein an amount of glucan in the biodegradable material is less than or equal to 47 wt %.
