In the framework of this study, Al2O3-lignin hybrid materials differing in terms of the weight ratio of the inorganic and organic components were designed and obtained. The method of mechanical grinding of ingredients with simultaneous mixing using a mortar grinder and a high-performance ball mill was used in order to obtain the above-mentioned systems. The effectiveness of obtaining alumina- lignin materials was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and, indirectly, by the colorimetric analysis. FTIR analysis allowed to confirm that hydrogen bonds formed between the components and classify the resulting systems as Ist class hybrid materials. In the course of the conducted research, the relatively high thermal stability of the hybrid materials was also confirmed and the dispersion and morphological character (SEM) of the obtained systems was determined. Favourable physicochemical and microstructural evaluation allowed to qualify the alumina-lignin hybrid systems as functional admixtures for cement mortars. As part of the tests, it was confirmed that the presence of lignin in the cement composites contributes to the increase of the plasticity of the mixture. In turn, the inorganic component allowed to preserve (and, in case of selected systems, improve) the mechanical properties of the final composites. The most favourable results of application tests were obtained for alumina-lignin hybrid systems with a weight ratios equal to 5:1 and 2:1. The analysis of these systems indicated that there is a clear improvement of mechanical properties, whit a simultaneous enhancement of the plasticity of the mixture in comparison to the reference sample.
