Back Cover : Lignin–a plant‐derived, weakly charged, phenolic oligomer–forms acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐lignin (ABL) when reactively mixed with nitrile rubber. With salt added, ionic interactions enhance interfacial crosslinking in ABL that results in nanoscale lignin domains. The nano‐lignin‐reinforced rubber exhibits higher strength and stiffness.
