Industrial humins from biorefining process of sugars were used as reactive thermoset matrix for the preparation of humins-jute fibre composites. This material was investigated and benchmarked with jute composites prepared with polyfurfurylalcohol (PFA), a well-known biobased thermosetting resin The Dynamic Mechanical Analyses (DMA) showed glass...
