The work presents the elaboration of biobased thermosets and composites synthesized from epoxidized vegetable oils (linseed and soybean) and furfuryl alcohol (FA). A first area of research focused on the study of the polymerisation of FA into polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) (i) in protic polar solvents, (ii) in combination with wood and (iii) in the...

The present work focuses on the conception of bio-based epoxy resins arising from an increasing interest class of curing agents: the dicarboxylic acid. The hardener used was first synthesized from maleic anhydride and dipropylene glycol and then copolymerized with epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) to design resins from bio-resources. The anionic...

Nanocomposite materials present attractive properties and are widely employed in various applications. Most of the time, the insertion of nanoparticles in a polymer matrix induces an enhancement of its performances, yet the effect of the filler on the polymerization mechanisms and the glass transition is less often investigated. In the present...

Highly moisture-resistant optical adhesives need to be developed for optical devices to ensure that they can be used reliably in optical devices for outside environment use. Further, a principal aim is that these adhesives have less toxicity impact on the environment and also on humans, so they need to be eco-friendly. A Vegetable Oil Based...

Unusual self-organization of sepiolite fibbers have been found during the synthesis of sustainable nanocomposites. These auto-structured networks are synthesized starting with an epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), a bio-based hardener of dicarboxylic class and sepiolite fibbers. For the first time, the auto-organization of sepiolite fibbers into...

Le renforcement des polymères est très souvent réalisé par des nanocharges en raison de leursgrandes surfaces de contact, jouant un rôle particulier sur leurs comportements. Parfois de formesanalogues à celles de fibres, ces charges jouent un rôle important dans les propriétés thermiques,mécaniques, optiques ou barrières et permettent de...
