Nowadays, as biodegradable carbon-zero materials are inevitably required in all sectors of industry, such as the automobile, construction, electronics industries, lignin may be used as a novel, appropriate, and renewable feedstock. Lignin is an abundant natural material source and waste material. Most industrial lignins are obtained from kraft and sulfite pulping processes. In this work, eco-friendly lignin-based nanocomposites were prepared in a twin-screw extruder at 0-9 wt% of Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoplatelets. The feasibility of using lignin-based polymer as matrix or compatibilizer in composites made from polypropylene (PP) and jute fiber was studied. The properties of the specimens have been studied by the thermogravimetry (TGA), tensile tests and Izod impact tests. The effects of both the lignin based copolyester and the filler particles on tensile properties and izod impact strength were investigated.
