Development of bio-based epoxy systems for dry-impregnated vegetables fiber composites implementation
Prepregs find industrial applications thanks to their high thermomechanical properties and easy implementation. However, they have two major drawback. First, they needto be carried and stored at low temperature. The second drawback is linked to the use of solvent in the future matrix, generating VOCs during thermocompression process. Those two points leads to environmental and economical overcharges resolved by a new dry impregnation process developed by Fibroline company. Those PhD works are reporting the synthesis and formulation of a biobased powder system with a low environmental impact, non-toxic for humans and compatible with dry impregnation for fully bio-based composites implementat…
Biomass-derived phenylpropenes as precursors of thermosetting epoxy resins : from synthesis to materials
International audience; As demonstrated by the current international awareness, and supported by several independent studies, the replacement of fossil fuels and the need to find competitive alternatives are crucial issues to reduce global warming, and to limit the consequences for life on Earth [1]. As part of this challenge, the biomass and molecules from the living can be considered as providential pools of renewable building blocks dedicated to the chemistry of the future. This is particularly true in polymer science, where the use of renewable resources for the synthesis of fully or partially biobased materials arouses a great deal of interest, in academia and industry [2].
New reactive isoeugenol based phosphate flame retardant : toward green epoxy resins
A biobased reactive phosphate flame retardant derived from isoeugenol was synthesized and fully characterized (1H, 13C, 31P NMR, FTIR, MS) with the aim of improving flame retardancy behavior of bio...
