  • Method of producing carbon fibers and carbon fiber composites from plant derived lignin and its blends
    Patent number: 11512173
    Abstract: Carbon fiber composites containing lignin carbon fibers are described. The lignin carbon fibers can be derived from organosolv lignin obtained from single source lignocellulosic feedstocks or combinations of such feedstocks or lignin obtained via other pulping or extraction methods. Also described are methods of preparing the carbon fiber composites.
