Preface
The future of automotive and aerospace industries is tied to the development of cost-effective and environmental-friendly carbon fibre source. Recently, lignin has been discovered as an ideal replacement for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursors for automotive grade carbon fibre production because it contains high carbon content (≈60% carbon content) and is widely available. It can be obtained from nearly all plants, agricultural wastes and even industrial by-products. However, lignin from these bio-sources is different from PAN and other carbon fibre precursors in terms of isolation, purification, and further processing into carbon fibres. Until now, mechanical performance requirements for automotive applications have not yet been realized from lignin-based carbon fibres. The way forward is a very good understanding of the lignin complex system, the role of lignin chemistry as it relates to carbon fibre production and the evolution of
