Facile new approach to high sulfur-content materials and preparation of sulfur–lignin copolymers

Abstract

This report introduces a new approach to high sulfur-content materials. This route, RASP (radical-induced aryl halide/sulfur polymerization), expands the substrate scope beyond olefins required for the traditional inverse vulcanization route to such materials. RASP allows direct reaction of two unmodified industrial waste products to give lignin–sulfur composites.
