AB  - In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of pyrolyzed lignin 
      compacts reinforced with 50 wt % wheat straw (WS) or sugar beet pulp (SBP) 
      fibers. The compacts were pyrolyzed at 300, 500, 700, and 900  degrees C in an Ar 
      atmosphere. Detailed thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis 
      (TMA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and microstructure 
      analysis were performed on these samples. FTIR analysis showed that pyrolysis of 
      lignin-WS and lignin-SBP resulted in aromatic char. Scanning electron microscope 
      (SEM) studies showed that foams obtained by pyrolyzing both lignin-50 wt % SBP 
      and lignin-50 wt % WS composites have a cellular structure. X-ray tomography and 
      energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) studies showed that pyrolysis of wheat straw 
      caused the formation of mineral-rich nodules in the pyrolyzed lignin matrix, 
      which was responsible for the denser and uniform microstructure of the lignin-WS 
      composites. Due to this reason, the lignin-WS composites were denser and had a 
      better mechanical strength as compared to the lignin-SBP composites. Both the 
      compositions also showed temperature-dependent wettability behavior.
