What is it about?
The feasibility of wood-based hybrid automotive components strongly depends on the properties of the interface between wood, lignin as a renewable coupling agent, and technical polymers. This paper investigates the macromolecular reactions and the bonding area in biobased epoxy adhesives for a specific influence on the performance of structural automotive wood components.

Why is it important?
The use of sustainable hybrid components is an important topic in lightweight automotive applications. Wood being a renewable material, when used in combination with other materials such as technical polymers, offers a high potential for producing hybrid components and the implementation of innovative lightweight automotive materials.
Perspectives
This article is intended to promote the use of biobased materials and show new perspectives in dealing with waste products from the pulp and paper industry.
