Le CEMEF et le Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée ont initié et développé un projet de recherche visant à mettre au point des pigments naturels, stables, respectueux de l'environnement et de la santé. Fort de nombreuses applications industrielles potentielles, ce projet qui vient d'être primé par OSEO et le Ministère de...

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...

Elastomer filled with fibrous clay (sepiolite) was manufactured using a hydrophilic elastomer matrix, poly 2-hydroxyethylacrylate (PHEA). The surface silanol groups located onto the channel sides of the sepiolite were functionalized with both octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), which form covalent...

The purpose of this article is to understand the underlying mechanisms of the potential of nanohybrids. Two types of fillers were dispersed in a biocompatible organic matrix, poly-(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA): either a natural fibrous clay (pristine sepiolite), or a natural nanopigment (Maya Blue). In comparison with the pure polymer, the...

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...
