Co-polymerisation of furfuryl alcohol for furan resins with increased toughness
Article
  • Aug 2022
Furfuryl alcohol resins with a varying amount of comonomer inhibiting the conjugation and crosslinking reactions of the resin are synthesised. The pre-resins are briefly characterised to ensure their properties besides composition are similar. Afterwards the pre-resins are cured and their mechanical properties are investigated. There was a markable...
Influence of industrial processing parameters on the effective properties of long aligned European hemp fibres in composite materials
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2022
Hemp is a sustainable source of natural fibres that can contribute to meet the increasing demand for technical applications in the textile and the composite sectors. Continuous reinforcements can be produced using the existing flax machinery, initially developed for textile purposes. To achieve competitive and economically viable fibre yields and a...
