Instrumentation and equipment will be used to establish a laboratory to         study chemical structure,  molecular weight, and weight distribution of         lignin.  This information is important to allow the utilization of              isolated lignin in the development of engineered lignin-based                   structural materials.  Specific equipment for determination of                  molecular weight and molecular weight distribution includes a solvent           delivery system for a liquid chromatography system, an injector, a              variable UV detector, a differential refractometer, integration                 software, and an IBM personal computer for data analysis.  A Fourier            transform infrared spectrometer will be used for the quantitative               structure analysis of isolated lignins and lignin derivatives, for              lignins in solid materials and several other applications.
