Abstract
The main objective was to develop technologies and
competences enabling the production of novel com-posite
materials, in which wood derived lignin and cellulose
fibre are the main constituents and with en-tirely
bio-based composition. The melt processability of
thermoplastic lignins was demonstrated, and lignins were
plasticized with biobased plasticizers to ease the
processing of the material. Lignin composites reinforced
with cellulosic fibers were produced. Suitable, novel
bio-based plasticizers were found and the plasticized
lignin was melt compounded with cellulose fibres and test
samples were injection moulded in pilot scale. DSC and
HDT analyses were conducted and mechanical properties
were measured. A clear improvement of mechanical
properties over materials produced in previously reported
studies with non-renewable plasticisers was demonstrated
