Lignin Reverse Micelles for UV-Absorbing and High Mechanical Performance Thermoplastics
Abstract
This work reports the preparation of a novel class of lignin reverse micelles (LRM) and their application as a UV-blocking additive for thermoplastics. It is found that when 7 vol % cyclohexane was added into alkali lignin (AL)/dioxane solution, LRM formed. When the cyclohexane amount increased, LRM tended to aggregate and separate from the solutions. LRM films had a water contact angle higher than 80°, in comparison to only 52° of the AL film …
