“…The modification of lignin served a clear purpose; to compatibilize lignin with the F5000 linker. F5000 is composed of a polypropylene glycol backbone which is incompatible with unmodified Kraft lignin, as indicated in several studies . As a result, using Kraft lignin as a filler in the DA formulation would only be relevant for very small lignin concentrations, as increasing amounts of lignin would have a direct negative impact on the mechanical properties.…”

“…Since kraft lignin is the most commonly produced technical lignin, most of the studies are focused on this type of lignin. For example, Haridevan et al [ 112 ] recently evaluated the dispersion and solubility of kraft lignin in different types of polyols at room temperature for the production of polyurethanes based on microscopic, gravimetric, and rheological analyses. This study demonstrated that kraft lignin has different degrees of dispersion in various polyols, depending on the structural characteristics such as solubility parameter, molecular weight, and monomeric unit type.…”

“…When dispersed at lower loading and/or in compatible polyols, lignin exists as micro-nanoparticles enhancing the nucleation effect thus reducing the cell size of RPUF, whereas at higher loadings and/or in less compatible polyols, lignin tends to form microagglomerates, which can affect the microstructure (cell coalescence and agglomeration in struts) and thus the physical properties. ,, Further, owing to this broad spectrum of dissolution-to-dispersion behavior, it has been postulated that lignin-incorporated polyols might exhibit significant rheological differences, depending on the lignin loading level, and affect the efficient mixing with isocyanates and therefore the microstructure formation during foaming. , However, the changes in the foam microstructure caused by particles with such complex dispersion behavior are not yet defined due to the difficulty in “imaging” of foamed plastics using conventional microscopy techniques. However, for better engineering of the performance of lignin-incorporated RPUF, it is essential to elucidate the influence of the broad spectrum of micro- and nanolignin particles on the microstructure.…”

“…Hence, understanding the dispersion behavior of lignin from its incorporation into polyol and subsequent conversion into RPUF is essential. 15,16 When dispersed at lower loading and/or in compatible polyols, lignin exists as micro-nanoparticles enhancing the nucleation effect thus reducing the cell size of RPUF, whereas at higher loadings and/or in less compatible polyols, lignin tends to form microagglomerates, which can affect the microstructure (cell coalescence and agglomeration in struts) and thus the physical properties. 8,13,16 Further, owing to this broad spectrum of dissolution-to-dispersion behavior, it has been postulated that lignin-incorporated polyols might exhibit significant rheological differences, depending on the lignin loading level, and affect the efficient mixing with isocyanates and therefore the microstructure formation during foaming.…”
