Model integration showed that, based on the chemistry of the feedstocks and precursors, it is possible to predict elastic CF properties and tow-level composite properties well within 15%.
All in all this paper presents the establishment of the laboratory scale process for making lignin based carbon fibers and shows worldwide the first Semi-production scale for producing Hardwood Lignin based carbon fibers. In the presence of an external magnetic field two spin states exist for 1H, the up state (lower energy) is aligned with the magnetic field and the down state (higher energy) is opposed to the magnetic field. In efforts to increase the pressure vessel storage density and meet DOE hydrogen storage targets, manufacturers are making incremental improvements. Several Kg batches of petroleum pitch mesophase (PPM) were produced by Koppers. The most important process in pulping industry is the Kraft Process with 75% of the worldwide lignin production. 
The determinations of 1H and especially 13 C chemical shifts have made an important contribution for understanding the qualitative and quantitative lignin structure. Predictive models were built to relate the feedstocks and precursors to carbon fiber properties using atomistic and micro-scale modeling within 15%. Application to nuclear magnetic resonance. When the new technology was developed, then award DE-EE0005760 would be re-started with the same goals of the development of a market development plant capable of producing CF at 4 kg/h with the properties that met or exceed those set forth by the Department of Energy Vehicles Technology standard. For making carbon fiber mainstream it is necessary to demonstrate large scale production of the pelletizing process. This was done with two sizes of extrusion machines. Development of a lignin based carbon ber. For qualifying lignin as a precursor for carbon fiber for automotive mass production a detailed chemical characterization of this new material is necessary. Lighter body adjustment leads to lightweight chassis and a combination of downsizing of the engine with reduced tank volume leads to lighter cars. In this three-year R&D project, we proposed three consecutive research phases, including (i) the development of new polyolefin-based precursors that can be thermally transformed to C material in one heating step under inert atmosphere and achieved a, Existing commercially available hydrogen storage technologies are largely based on bulky and costly pressure vessels. 
demonstrates The reason for bad flow ability is high components of moisture (water content: 6.1%) and volatiles, which can be detected in the hydrophilic Hardwood Lignin powder. 11-13. 2011 Report on Environmental Protection Efforts; 2011, November. The COSY experiments were measured with a spectral width of 6 kHz in both dimensions; 256 increments of 32 scans and 1 K data points were acquired. 2 [4]. lignin sulfonate polyacrylonitrile [18] Ralph J, Landucci LL. The HSQC were detected using 2 K data points in F2 and 256 experiments of 128 scans in F1, relaxations delay was 1.5 s and pulse width for :H was 9.3 ^s and for 13C was 13.0 ^s. The 2D spectra were obtained by using the standard sequences. Read more about how to correctly acknowledge RSC content. Please copy and paste this embed script to where you want to embed. A method was developed to encrypt the various CF processing parameters so they could be used for machine learning (ML) to develop web-based, user-friendly, platforms for predicting CF properties. The Hardwood Lignin powder cannot be used for fiber spinning. Lightweight design is an essential part of the overall Volkswagen strategy for reducing the CO2 emission.
In second phase, we focused on the most interesting (low-cost) PE-g-Pitch precursor. The investigations of the contained elements in the used Hardwood Lignin for carbon fiber production are done with the Vario ELcube CHNS from Elementar.
Overall, we have successfully completed first two tasks with good experimental results, but the last one requires the close collaboration with ORNL CF team (through the LightMat consortium) in fiber melt-spinning process and carbonization under tension.

Fig. CF from these filtered and unfiltered (referring to the isotropic pitch, not filtration of the mesophase) PPM were produced using the same melt-spinning processes. This fact is essential to make carbon fibers ready for a mainstream use within the automotive industry. However, it is admitted that given the large scope of the project various aspects are more developed and validated than others, and additional work is needed to fully understand all aspects of CF production. precursors way to scale up the production process of lignin based carbon fibers. Following bands were identified: OH stretching at 3400-3460 cm-1, aromatic CH stretching at 3009 cm-1, aliphatic CH stretching at 2937 and 2846 cm-1 in methoxy groups and methyl as well as methylene groups arising from side chains. This may take some time to load.
Fig. 13) are examples for the efficiency of NMR as an analytical technique for the characterization of lignins. Fifty percent of the cost of a conventional carbon fiber already belongs to the cost of the PAN precursor. In single fiber spinning experiments the conditions for the melt spinning process were defined (temperature profile, kind and amount of plasticizer, spinning speed etc.). New approaches to machine learning were developed which can provide some chemical and physical insight behind correlations while also minimizing the risks of overfitting. ORNL heat treated the stabilized fibers to produce ~25kg of lignin-based carbon fibers. The signals were detected at SC/SH 54.3/2.83 ppm for Cp-Hp, 64.1/3.27 ppm for C^-H, and 87.4/4.30 ppm for Ca-Ha (Figs. For realizing a better flow ability and for reducing the moisture and the volatiles compounds for the melt spinning process a pelletizing of the Hardwood Lignin powder was done. From this data it is possible knowing the molar mass determination to investigate the empirical formula and this way the stoichiometry of an organic compound like Hardwood Lignin. Infrared spectrum is molecular vibra-tional spectrum. The band occurs around 1705 cm-1 coming from CO stretching in unconjugated carbonyl/carboxyl groups is an interesting region. Unfortunately the weight of cars has been rising in the last decades. The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) offers an enormous lightweight potential in comparison to aluminum, enabling a weight reduction, if a load-adapted (unidirectional) CFRP-design is used, of up to 60% in automobile parts without a degradation of the functionalities. Then the lignin is precipitated out of the black liquor. The one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker AVANCE 600 NMR spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm TBI-1H-13C/15N/2H probe head with z-gradients. Boca Raton, FL, USA: CRC Press; 2010. J Chem Phys 1976;64:2229. The project team, led by the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) and consisting of High Energy Coil, Precursor Processing Development for Low Cost, High Strength Carbon Fiber for Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel Applications. Further results suggested that reducing the precursor hollow fiber wall thickness would allow for complete, homogeneous oxidation, thereby avoiding the skin-core structure often observed in commercial carbon fiber. The resulting PE-g-Pitch based carbon fibers show a nano-polycrystalline morphology by XRD and Raman, like those shown in commercial high tensile strength PAN based carbon fibers. The researchers also identified two potential resins to serve as the liner of the vessel. 7 and 8). references. 4 - Reversing of "weight spiral" [4]. Application to nuclear magnetic resonance.

Furthermore, the process ability and demonstrators as well as the suitability for high volume production of the developed processes are main issues for successful implementation in future lightweight vehicle concepts. Q. Mao, S. Rajabpour, M. K. Talkhoncheh, J. Zhu, M. Kowalik and A. C. T. van Duin, 1). Key aspects are: the examination and quantification of lignin as an alternative precursor, the optimization of the manufacturing processes, the characterization and quantification of the properties of the novel carbon fibers within an established material pre-validation process and a final economic efficiency and sustainability analysis. Therefore, our team endeavored to develop fiber processing to demonstrate carbon fiber tensile properties similar to T700S with a production cost potential of $12.60/kg or less.
The C2/6H2/6 correlations in Ca-oxidized S units were found at SC/SH 106.6-108.3/7.12-7.22 ppm. 201 5;xxx(xx):xxx-xxx. Oak Ridge, TN, USA: Oral Presentation - Oak Ridge National Lab; 2012, May. Fig. The investigated samples were produced from Hardwood Lignin powder which typically contains guaiacyl G and syringyl S units (Fig. For Phase 1, various feedstocks from coal, petroleum and bio-based acrylonitrile were investigated for their ability to produce carbon fiber within DOE strength (250 ksi), modulus (25 Msi), elongation (>1%) and cost ($5/lb) goals for wider utilization in light-weight vehicles for the automotive industry. 10: Hardwood Lignin monomers). Within the project, our team investigated a new low-cost, high-volume, high quality polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based precursor terpolymer for the production of carbon fiber precursors, methods for increasing water and energy use efficiency in wash-water/solvent separation, and ultimately developed a multifilament spinning and conversion process for the production of hollow carbon fibers from a segmented arc spinneret utilizing a solution spinning method. The results of the FT-IR spectroscopy are summarized in Table 5. On the other hand, it has also stimulated research interest to develop new low-cost precursors and manufacturing process. The team was able to build and test a vessel with one such blend, which outperformed the baseline Hytrel resin materials but did not meet the project hydrogen permeability rate goals. After that the gases from combustion (CO2, H2O, SO2 and N2) are separated in separation column (adsorption and desorption separation column) and quantitative detected by thermal conductivity detector (TCD) and infrared detectors.

The major R&D activities and findings accomplished during this project are summarized below: In the first R&D phase, we focused on the development of chemical routes to prepare new polymer precursors with the objective to identify the suitable structure that is processible for fiber spinning and can be thermally converted to C with high C yield >80% (more than 60% higher than that of current PAN precursor that exhibits C yield ~50%). The Formulae C9 contains complete information about the lignin monomer structure (Fig. 20 - Batch stabilization of Hardwood Lignin fibers.
For both aromatic units the typical aromatic skeleton vibrations were found at 1600, 1514 and 1424 cm-1 and the aromatic ring vibration at 1462 cm-1. elsevier microstructure reproduced This fact is essential to make carbon fibers ready for a mainstream use within the automotive industry. The NMR spectroscopy is based on the magnetic properties of the atomic nucleus. 13 - HMBC spectra for the aromatic region of Hardwood Lignin. The experimental found conversion rates are much lower (at around 45%) as a result of loss of carbon in form of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during conversion. provided correct acknowledgement is given. ORNL stabilized fibers using a ~100-h batch thermal treatment in a large (>5.5 m3) oven (Fig. 2016 / Norhaniza Yusof, Dipak Rana, Ahmad Fauzi Ismail, Takeshi Matsuura, 2015 / Jason S.

In addition, this B-Pitch precursor was applied in the manufacture of C/C composite with the collaboration of IACMI Institute. This technology is used in commercially available compressed air storage for firefighters. For this reason the details which can be given in this context are limited. For customers of the automotive industry lightweight construction has enormous benefits. For the Hardwood Lignin powder a detailed elementary analyze was made (Table 2). The goal of the Dow sponsored project was to finalize the mass balances, energy balances, and levelized cost to produce CF using the Dow process.

This observation is very important in many C/C composite applications. That means a theoretical conversion rate for making carbon fiber from lignin of over 60% would be possible.
C-yield >80%, which is more than 60% higher than that of current PAN precursor, (ii) With the suitable new polyolefin-based precursor, we can focus on CF manufacturing process, including fiber spinning, stabilization, and carbonization, to form high quality carbon fibers with the desirable polymorphous morphology, and (iii) the investigation of thermal conversion process under tension for converting polyolefin-based precursor fibers to high tensile strength carbon fibers with specific graphite crystallite size, orientation of basal line, order-disorder ratio, fiber diameter, and reduced structural defect (voids). PPM produced from filtered PP produced significantly smaller diameter CF with higher strength and elongation, but lower modulus. Using a laboratory scale machine, "melt blown" spinning was evaluated for producing a Hardwood Lignin fiber web with a filament diameter in the range of 10-20 ^m. In the first budget period, the main goal was to design a sulfonation-desulfonation market development plant capable of stabilizing PO precursor fiber at a rate of 5 kg/h using a sulfonation solution. For the Hardwood Lignin in laboratory scale, the stabilization time requires several days.
Here, multifilament, continuous tow, polyacrylonitrile-based precursor hollow fibers were successfully produced utilizing a segmented arc spinneret. acv13@psu.edu, b 17. 3 shows the potential of lightweight construction carbon fiber reinforced plastics in structural applications and the related cost factors, which would be realized by substitution of a steel component by carbon fiber reinforced plastics [4]. Two chemical routes were developed, involving PE-DPA and PE-BrSt copolymers, respectively. 9 and 10, which show the Hardwood lignin monomers and dimers with the side chains. Also phenylcoumaran B is a well-known inter-unit linkage in lignin and in general it is found in the Hardwood Lignin precursor powder. In third phase, our plan was to scale-up PE-g-Pitch precursor and collaborate with ORNL team to conduct fiber melt-spinning and the subsequent carbonization under tension to achieve high strength carbon fibers.
For producing new carbon fiber from lignin, lignin itself must be characterized and analyzed for understanding the chemistry and behavior of this new precursor. Fig. A simple tuning of the thermal profile semi-production scale reduced the residence time from ~150 h to ~100 h. That means a reduction of more than 33% was realized. Fig. If lignin is compared to polyacrylonitrile as a precursor for carbon fiber the ability to reduce the cost of manufacturing is by more than. Fig. Fig.
Several key findings are listed below: The suitable PE-g-Pitch precursor composition, containing PE-g-Pitch graft polymer (20-60 wt.%) and some free Pitch (40-80 wt.%) serving as plasticizer, for melt-spinning to form the corresponding uniform precursor fibers. In Phase 2 the tools and methods developed in the Phase 1 are integrated and further developed to relate the atomistic properties of CF feedstocks to single filament CF properties and ultimately to the tow-level composite fiber properties. After identifying that the precursor is the biggest cost factor in conventional carbon fiber, new precursors were investigated. CF properties such as elastic modulus, compressive modulus, shear modulus and Poissons ratio could be predicted well within 15%. This leads to five main steps, which illustrate the use of Hardwood Lignin as a precursor for carbon fiber production: The following sections will describe the five steps in more detail and will show in logical order the production process of Hardwood Lignin based carbon fibers as performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA. The reversing of the "weight spiral" is finally necessary to reach the future emission standards. In: Heitner C, Dimmel DR, Schmidt JA, editors. Infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the structures of molecules and the molecules characteristic absorption of infrared radiation. Recent advances in characterization of lignin polymer by solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodology. The result is a lightweight, flexible, non-explosive, and non-fragmenting pressure vessel that can be shaped (prior to pressurization) to conform to specific applications. The band at 1113 cm-1 dominates and is associated with the CH in plane deformation vibrations of the S units. All in all the results of the FT-IR spectroscopy underlines the structures, which are already found with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Elementary analysis. DOEs AMO Headquarters and Golden Field Office teams agreed with the termination of the project.
The 2D NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the primary structures of the investigated Hardwood Lignin derivatives. 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 I 1 -H1 1 1 I -- I - I 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 J 1 1 1 1 I -- 1 I - 1 1 I , 7.45 7.40 7.35 7.30 7.25 7.20 7.15 7.10 7.05 7.00 6.95 6.90 6.85 6.80 6.75 6.70 6.65 6.60 6.55 6.50 6.45. Biochemistry 2002;41(18):5776, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/bi012153k. For this reason Hardwood Lignin, as a precursor will especially be considered as an alternative for the production of carbon fibers. This was corrected by modifying the CGMD models to add back in the hydrogen atoms and allowing all the atoms to relax, thus converting it back to a fully atomistic model. This approach alone is unlikely to meet DOE hydrogen storage targets and increase adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Here, the overarching goal of the project was the development of low cost, high strength carbon fiber for composite overwrapped pressure vessels.
If the oxidation conditions are too harsh, a complete oxidation of the fiber is possible, which means fire in the oxidation oven and CO2 and ash as the result of this step. The optimization of essential parameters feeding into the machine learning algorithms were tested and successfully validated against experimental data. NMR of lignins. The use of Hardwood Lignin offers significant cost savings potential in the production of. In: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on composite materials (JCCM15). Materials 2013;6:359-91. The following section will show the possibility to make a lignin-based carbon fiber in laboratory scale [24,4]. This effect is called spin reversal. The award was used to develop a process that was capable of producing market development quantities of CF from PO precursor fiber at a rate of 4 kg/h of CF. [24] Eggersdorfer M. Perspektiven nachwachsender Rohstoffe in Energiewirtschaft und Chemie. When considering the cost of carbon fibers it becomes clear that more than 50% of the cost relate to the production of the precursor, 15% related to the oxidation process and 23% related to the carbonization process (Fig. 9). From this data the C9-unit was calculated with: C9H10.8O3 56.
The other 17% are produced by special processes (the Alcell Process, the Organo-cell Process), which are used for the production of special papers and special kinds of cellulose [24]. The elementary analysis shows, that the used Hardwood Lignin for making carbon fiber has a carbon content of over 60% (see Table 2). Spektrum der Wissenschaft 1994;6:96-102. We discover that the acetals of CL can catalyze the cyclization of the blend precursor, allowing for the search for CL derivatives or the other kinds of bio-based polymers with similar functionalities as alternative blends.

The Formulae C9 contains complete information about the lignin monomer structure (Fig. 20 - Batch stabilization of Hardwood Lignin fibers.
For both aromatic units the typical aromatic skeleton vibrations were found at 1600, 1514 and 1424 cm-1 and the aromatic ring vibration at 1462 cm-1. elsevier microstructure reproduced This fact is essential to make carbon fibers ready for a mainstream use within the automotive industry. The NMR spectroscopy is based on the magnetic properties of the atomic nucleus. 13 - HMBC spectra for the aromatic region of Hardwood Lignin. The experimental found conversion rates are much lower (at around 45%) as a result of loss of carbon in form of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during conversion. provided correct acknowledgement is given. ORNL stabilized fibers using a ~100-h batch thermal treatment in a large (>5.5 m3) oven (Fig. 2016 / Norhaniza Yusof, Dipak Rana, Ahmad Fauzi Ismail, Takeshi Matsuura, 2015 / Jason S.

In addition, this B-Pitch precursor was applied in the manufacture of C/C composite with the collaboration of IACMI Institute. This technology is used in commercially available compressed air storage for firefighters. For this reason the details which can be given in this context are limited. For customers of the automotive industry lightweight construction has enormous benefits. For the Hardwood Lignin powder a detailed elementary analyze was made (Table 2). The goal of the Dow sponsored project was to finalize the mass balances, energy balances, and levelized cost to produce CF using the Dow process.

This observation is very important in many C/C composite applications. That means a theoretical conversion rate for making carbon fiber from lignin of over 60% would be possible.
C-yield >80%, which is more than 60% higher than that of current PAN precursor, (ii) With the suitable new polyolefin-based precursor, we can focus on CF manufacturing process, including fiber spinning, stabilization, and carbonization, to form high quality carbon fibers with the desirable polymorphous morphology, and (iii) the investigation of thermal conversion process under tension for converting polyolefin-based precursor fibers to high tensile strength carbon fibers with specific graphite crystallite size, orientation of basal line, order-disorder ratio, fiber diameter, and reduced structural defect (voids). PPM produced from filtered PP produced significantly smaller diameter CF with higher strength and elongation, but lower modulus. Using a laboratory scale machine, "melt blown" spinning was evaluated for producing a Hardwood Lignin fiber web with a filament diameter in the range of 10-20 ^m. In the first budget period, the main goal was to design a sulfonation-desulfonation market development plant capable of stabilizing PO precursor fiber at a rate of 5 kg/h using a sulfonation solution. For the Hardwood Lignin in laboratory scale, the stabilization time requires several days.
Here, multifilament, continuous tow, polyacrylonitrile-based precursor hollow fibers were successfully produced utilizing a segmented arc spinneret. acv13@psu.edu, b 17. 3 shows the potential of lightweight construction carbon fiber reinforced plastics in structural applications and the related cost factors, which would be realized by substitution of a steel component by carbon fiber reinforced plastics [4]. Two chemical routes were developed, involving PE-DPA and PE-BrSt copolymers, respectively. 9 and 10, which show the Hardwood lignin monomers and dimers with the side chains. Also phenylcoumaran B is a well-known inter-unit linkage in lignin and in general it is found in the Hardwood Lignin precursor powder. In third phase, our plan was to scale-up PE-g-Pitch precursor and collaborate with ORNL team to conduct fiber melt-spinning and the subsequent carbonization under tension to achieve high strength carbon fibers.
For producing new carbon fiber from lignin, lignin itself must be characterized and analyzed for understanding the chemistry and behavior of this new precursor. Fig. A simple tuning of the thermal profile semi-production scale reduced the residence time from ~150 h to ~100 h. That means a reduction of more than 33% was realized. Fig. If lignin is compared to polyacrylonitrile as a precursor for carbon fiber the ability to reduce the cost of manufacturing is by more than. Fig. Fig.
Several key findings are listed below: The suitable PE-g-Pitch precursor composition, containing PE-g-Pitch graft polymer (20-60 wt.%) and some free Pitch (40-80 wt.%) serving as plasticizer, for melt-spinning to form the corresponding uniform precursor fibers. In Phase 2 the tools and methods developed in the Phase 1 are integrated and further developed to relate the atomistic properties of CF feedstocks to single filament CF properties and ultimately to the tow-level composite fiber properties. After identifying that the precursor is the biggest cost factor in conventional carbon fiber, new precursors were investigated. CF properties such as elastic modulus, compressive modulus, shear modulus and Poissons ratio could be predicted well within 15%. This leads to five main steps, which illustrate the use of Hardwood Lignin as a precursor for carbon fiber production: The following sections will describe the five steps in more detail and will show in logical order the production process of Hardwood Lignin based carbon fibers as performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA. The reversing of the "weight spiral" is finally necessary to reach the future emission standards. In: Heitner C, Dimmel DR, Schmidt JA, editors. Infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the structures of molecules and the molecules characteristic absorption of infrared radiation. Recent advances in characterization of lignin polymer by solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodology. The result is a lightweight, flexible, non-explosive, and non-fragmenting pressure vessel that can be shaped (prior to pressurization) to conform to specific applications. The band at 1113 cm-1 dominates and is associated with the CH in plane deformation vibrations of the S units. All in all the results of the FT-IR spectroscopy underlines the structures, which are already found with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Elementary analysis. DOEs AMO Headquarters and Golden Field Office teams agreed with the termination of the project.
The 2D NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the primary structures of the investigated Hardwood Lignin derivatives. 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 I 1 -H1 1 1 I -- I - I 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 J 1 1 1 1 I -- 1 I - 1 1 I , 7.45 7.40 7.35 7.30 7.25 7.20 7.15 7.10 7.05 7.00 6.95 6.90 6.85 6.80 6.75 6.70 6.65 6.60 6.55 6.50 6.45. Biochemistry 2002;41(18):5776, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/bi012153k. For this reason Hardwood Lignin, as a precursor will especially be considered as an alternative for the production of carbon fibers. This was corrected by modifying the CGMD models to add back in the hydrogen atoms and allowing all the atoms to relax, thus converting it back to a fully atomistic model. This approach alone is unlikely to meet DOE hydrogen storage targets and increase adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Here, the overarching goal of the project was the development of low cost, high strength carbon fiber for composite overwrapped pressure vessels.
If the oxidation conditions are too harsh, a complete oxidation of the fiber is possible, which means fire in the oxidation oven and CO2 and ash as the result of this step. The optimization of essential parameters feeding into the machine learning algorithms were tested and successfully validated against experimental data. NMR of lignins. The use of Hardwood Lignin offers significant cost savings potential in the production of. In: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on composite materials (JCCM15). Materials 2013;6:359-91. The following section will show the possibility to make a lignin-based carbon fiber in laboratory scale [24,4]. This effect is called spin reversal. The award was used to develop a process that was capable of producing market development quantities of CF from PO precursor fiber at a rate of 4 kg/h of CF. [24] Eggersdorfer M. Perspektiven nachwachsender Rohstoffe in Energiewirtschaft und Chemie. When considering the cost of carbon fibers it becomes clear that more than 50% of the cost relate to the production of the precursor, 15% related to the oxidation process and 23% related to the carbonization process (Fig. 9). From this data the C9-unit was calculated with: C9H10.8O3 56.
The other 17% are produced by special processes (the Alcell Process, the Organo-cell Process), which are used for the production of special papers and special kinds of cellulose [24]. The elementary analysis shows, that the used Hardwood Lignin for making carbon fiber has a carbon content of over 60% (see Table 2). Spektrum der Wissenschaft 1994;6:96-102. We discover that the acetals of CL can catalyze the cyclization of the blend precursor, allowing for the search for CL derivatives or the other kinds of bio-based polymers with similar functionalities as alternative blends.
