A composition may include at least 50 wt-% of a first lignin component; and up to 50 wt % of a second lignin component. The first and second lignin components may include processed lignin or native lignin. The composition may include at least 80 wt-% processed lignin; and at least 1 wt-%) of a blend component comprising an aromatic ring and one or more electron withdrawing groups. The processed lignin may include kraft lignin or GVL lignin or both. The composition may include a lignin component and a non-lignin blend component. Polymeric articles formed from the composition by casting, molding, or extrusion may exhibit a tensile strength of 20 MPa or greater, or a tensile elongation at break of 1.5%> or greater.

The invention pertains to a composition based on a fluoroelastomer comprising nitrile or carboxylate-type cure sites and including a curing agent and a Br-containing marker having reactivity towards the said cure-sites, which can be cured so as to deliver cured parts maintaining chemically bound bromine atoms; this material, when submitted to wear/damage would hence release Br-containing contaminants, which can easily spotted via notably an on-line mass spectrometer, so as to monitor and anticipate critical failures of sealing materials based there upon.
