Lignin Integration Slashes Carbon Fiber Production Costs by One Quarter

TechXplore Engineering reports that researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a method to replace half of the petroleum-based polyacrylonitrile used in carbon fiber with lignin, a common paper industry byproduct. By utilizing carbon nanotubes to align the c
