Bio-based resins, obtained from renewable raw materials, are a more sustainable alternative to oil-based resins for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The incorporation of lignin in those resins has the potential to enhance their performance. This ...
Oil -based polymeric resins are widely used in the manufacture of fibre -reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, contributing up to 70 % to their total weight. In an effort to reduce the dependence on oil -based feedstock, bio-based alternatives are being inc ...
This paper presents the development and industrial manufacturing of a pultruded high-performance carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite strip using a bio-based unsaturated polyester (UP) resin containing more than 50% of its weight derived f ...
This paper presents an experimental study of the wet freeze-thaw (FT) durability of a fibre-polymer composite produced by vacuum infusion using an innovative bio-based unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and basalt fibres. As the benchmark, an equivalent com ...
This paper presents the manufacturing and the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of a bio-based glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite, produced by vacuum infusion, using an in-house high-performance bio-based unsaturated polyester resin ( ...
