The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Spero Renewables LLC (Spero) to design, synthesize, and test novel composite materials. These would include lignin-derived thermoset pre-polymers, renewable thermosets, and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). The materials would be developed to have high yield, high purity, and low solvent/energy inputs. Optimal recycling conditions for thermosets and CFRPs would also be researched.
