Microfibers of kraft lignin blended with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were produced by electrospinning of the solution of lignin and high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in alkaline water. Interactions between lignin and PEO in alkaline aqueous solutions create association complexes, which increases the viscosity of the solution. The effect of polymer concentration, PEO molecular weight, and storage time of solution before spinning on the morphology of the fibers was studied. It showed that after one day the viscosity dropped and fiber diameter decreased. Results from the solutions in alkaline water and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with different polymer concentrations were compared. The 7 wt % of (Lignin/PEO: 95/5 wt/wt) in alkaline aqueous solution was successfully spun and the ratio of PEO in lignin/PEO mixture could be further reduced. In comparison, higher concentrations were needed to prepare a spinning solution in DMF and fiber diameters were in a much smaller range. The final target of spinning lignin is to produce carbonized fibers. Fibers spun from aqueous solutions had lower PEO content, which is a big advantage for the carbonization process as it reduces the challenges regarding melting of the fibers or void creation during carbonization. Furthermore, the larger diameter of these fibers inhibits disintegration of the carbonized fibers, which happens due to the mass loss during the process.
