Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a fiber reinforced composite comprising a reinforcing constituent of fibers embedded in a resin matrix, wherein the resin matrix comprises epoxy resin crosslinked with aminated lignin. The invention further relates to a method for the production of a fiber reinforced composite.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber reinforced composite comprising a reinforcing constituent of fibers embedded in a resin matrix, characterized in that the resin matrix comprises epoxy resin crosslinked with aminated lignin, and contains less than 5 weight-% of lignin based carbohydrates, wherein the aminated lignin is lignin that has been subjected to an amination reaction with polyamine. 2. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 1 , wherein the resin matrix contains less than 1.5 weight-% of lignin based carbohydrates. 3. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 2 , wherein the resin matrix further comprises unmodified lignin crosslinked with aminated lignin. 4. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 2 , wherein the weight ratio of aminated lignin to epoxy resin is 1:10 to 3:2. 5. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 2 , wherein the weight ratio of aminated lignin to epoxy resin is 1:6 to 1:1. 6. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 1 , wherein the resin matrix further comprises unmodified lignin crosslinked with aminated lignin. 7. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 6 , wherein the weight ratio of unmodified lignin to epoxy resin is 1:20 to 1:1. 8. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 6 , wherein the weight ratio of aminated lignin to epoxy resin is 1:10 to 3:2. 9. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 6 , wherein the weight ratio of unmodified lignin to epoxy resin is 1:10 to 2:3. 10. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 6 , wherein the weight ratio of aminated lignin to epoxy resin is 1:6 to 1:1. 11. The fiber reinforced composite of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of aminated lignin to epoxy resin is 1:10 to 3:2. 12. A fiber reinforced composite comprising a reinforcing constituent of fibers embedded in a resin matrix produced by a method comprising the steps of (a) forming a resin matrix by mixing epoxy resin and aminated lignin containing less than 5 weight-% of carbohydrates and mixing the resin matrix with fibers; and (b) heating the composition formed in step a) at a temperature of 40-180° C. for crosslinking epoxy resin and aminated lignin, wherein the aminated lignin is lignin that has been subjected to an amination reaction with polyamine.
