Scaling sustainable carbon fiber production: A breakthrough in lignin-based technology


//science-technology.news-articles.net/content/2 .. n-a-breakthrough-in-lignin-based-technology.html
Published in Science and Technology on by MSN   Print publication without navigation

Carbon fiber is a critical material for industries such as aerospace and automotive, prized for its strength and lightweight properties. However, traditional carbon fiber production relies on costly,

The article from MSN discusses a significant advancement in sustainable materials technology, focusing on the development of carbon fiber from lignin, a byproduct of the paper industry. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have pioneered a method to convert lignin into high-quality carbon fiber, traditionally made from petroleum-based precursors. This breakthrough not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with carbon fiber production but also utilizes what was previously considered waste. The process involves stabilizing lignin with a low-temperature treatment to prevent melting, followed by spinning it into fibers and then carbonizing it. This innovation could potentially lower the cost of carbon fiber, making it more accessible for widespread use in industries like automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy, thereby promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on non-renewable resources.
