Publication number: 20110274612Abstract: A lignin derivative is produced from a lignin with the empirical formula L(OH)z, where L is a lignin without hydroxyl groups, OH are free hydroxyl groups bonded to L, and z is 100% of the free hydroxyl groups bonded to L. The lignin derivative has free hydroxyl groups that are derivatized with divalent residues Rx and monovalent residues Ry that are bonded to L via an ester, ether, or urethane group. A shaped body comprising the lignin derivative can take the form of a fiber, e.g. as precursor fiber for the production of a carbon fiber. A carbon fiber can be produced from the above-mentioned precursor fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2010Publication date: November 10, 2011Applicants: FRAUNHOFER GESEIISCHAFT ZUR FORDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V., TOHO TENAX EUROPE GMBHInventors: Bernd Wohlmann, Michael Wolki, Andreas Ebert, Gunnar Engelmann, Hans-Peter Fink
