Improvement of fire reaction and mould growth resistance of a new bio-based thermal insulation material [PDF]

, 2016
In the present paper, the performance of an innovative thermal insulation rigid board is evaluated in terms of fire behaviour and fungal resistance. The board is based on vegetal pith and a natural gum (corn pith and sodium alginate) and it is completely

Effects of fibre content and textile structure on dynamic-mechanical and shape-memory properties of ELO/flax biocomposites [PDF]

, 2013
Biocomposites were prepared using epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and flax fibre reinforcements in different assemblies. ELO was cured by two different anhydrides to check how its thermomechanical properties can be influenced.
