products. It is felt that the ABC3D Lignin (ABC3DL) may be a good candidate feedstock for the formation of_x000D_
carbon fibres. However, there are several challenges posed by the fibre formation that the ABC3DL product_x000D_
developers must overcome. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has a wide range of electrospinning_x000D_
facilities in the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AFML). By combining the expertise_x000D_
of UBC AFML staff and nanofibre processing facility we can reduce the design cycle time and improve the_x000D_
level of innovation. In this program, we propose to combine ABC3D's bio-refinery technology with the_x000D_
know-how and capabilities in fibrous materials in AFML at UBC to explore the feasibility of lignin as a raw_x000D_
material for carbon fibre production., program purpose french : Advanced BioCarbon 3D Ltd (ABC3D) has developed a process for extracting high purity lignin from wood_x000D_
