## Description

- description: Lightweight plastics and their composites are being increasingly used
    in automobiles to reduce emissions and costs, but the market demand for fossil
    fuel-based plastics such as polypropylene (PP) creates several environmental problems
    such as pollution and waste. Although replacing PP with biomass such as lignin
    is not a new endeavor, the vast majority of past studies reported reduced mechanical
    properties as lignin content increases, which limits its application in industry.
    Herein, blends of maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MAH-g-PP) and softwood-derived
    glycol lignin (GL) are successfully fabricated via a melt-mixing approach, which
    boast exceptional mechanical properties and thermal stability. Synergistic performance
    enhancement is observed when combined with carbon fiber reinforcement, which is
    elucidated by nanoindentation of the fiber/polymer interface. This work contributes
    to the development of sustainable automotive structures by efficiently combining
    biomass and traditional materials.
