Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a lignin resin composition including a lignin derivative having a weight-average molecular weight of 500 or more and 4000 or less and a novolac-type phenolic resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or more and 3000 or less, in which the content of the lignin derivative is not higher than the content of the novolac-type phenolic resin. In particular, the cured product (molded product) of a lignin resin composition obtained by melt-mixing such a lignin resin composition, adding hexamethylenetetramine thereto and then heating the resulting mixture has a high bending strength. Such a lignin resin composition is utilizable as a thermosetting resin substituting a phenolic resin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A lignin resin composition comprising: a lignin derivative having a weight-average molecular weight of 500 or more and 4000 or less; and a phenolic novolac resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or more and 3000 or less, wherein the content of the lignin derivative is not higher than the content of the phenolic novolac resin. 2. The lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the lignin derivative to the phenolic novolac resin is 5:95 to 50:50. 3. The lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the lignin derivative is solvent-soluble. 4. The lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent is a polar solvent. 5. The lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the softening temperature of the phenolic novolac resin is 60° C. or higher and 95° C. or lower. 6. The lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , which is formed by melt-mixing the lignin derivative and the phenolic novolac resin at a temperature of 60° C. or higher and 250° C. or lower in advance. 7. A cured product obtained by adding hexamethylenetetramine to the lignin resin composition according to claim 1 , followed by curing. 8. A molded product having the cured product according to claim 7 .
