Abstract

Polymer blending is a convenient method to develop products with desirable properties. Through specific intermolecular interactions favorable polymer blending can occur, and composite materials with desirable properties can be produced. In this study we have prepared poly (ethylene oxide)-lignin blends using thermal mixing. Miscible blends were observed over the entire blend ratio. A melting point depression, comparable to results ...
