Abstract
A bisphenol A based epoxy adhesive (EP) was modified by polyblending with Kraft Lignin (L). A systematic investigation of the thermally cured EP‐L polyblends with up to 40% by weight L was undertaken. Adhesive shear tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and solid‐state CP‐MAS NMR spectroscopy were performed to establish the effect of L on the mechanical properties of the polyblends and on the morphology of these crosslinked structures. The possibility of an enhanced degree of bonding between L and the EP network is discussed. This bonding can arise from a chemical reaction between L and some unreacted amine groups present in the hardener.Keywords
