Notes:
Thermal properties of polyurethane (PU) films prepared from solvolysis lignin (SL), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) were examined by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. In the SL - PEG - MDI system, the SL content, the molecular weight (Mn) of PEG and the NCO/OH ratio were changed in order to control the thermal properties. Glass transition temperatures (Tg's) of the prepared PU's were dependent on the SL content, the Mn of PEG and the NCO/OH ratio. However, the Tg of PU was significantly influenced by the SL content: the increment of Tg was ca. 150 K when the SL content in PEG increased from 0 to ca. 50%. The decomposition of the PU's was markedly dependent on the content of SL. Other factors, such as the NCO/OH ratio and the Mn of PEG, are less dominant compared with the SL content. This fact suggests that the dissociation between the isocyanate groups and the phenolic OH groups in SL may be the major factor in the whole process of the thermal decomposition of the PU containing SL
