The development of viable alternatives to petroleum-based polymeric materials is a
compelling contemporary challenge attributable to environmental concerns and the effects …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) is capable of memorizing one or more temporary shapes and
recovering successively to the permanent shape upon various external stimuli. Beside of the …

Bio-epoxy resins based on five epoxidized vegetable oils were formulated with an aromatic
disulfide crosslinker with diacid functionality, 2, 2′-dithiodibenzoic acid (DTBA), to obtain …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are part of the smart materials family. They have the ability
to recover their permanent shape, from a temporary shape, upon application of a stimulus …

This work focuses on the development of new composite laminates based on the use of
epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) as matrix and reinforcement fabrics from slate fibers with …

This paper deals with the development of polymeric materials derived from epoxidized
vegetable oils which have been used in the manufacture of laminated composite materials …

Shape-memory carbon fiber (CF) polymer composites reinforced with graphene
nanoplatelets (GnPs) as a filler based on a bio-based V-fa/ECO copolymer were prepared at …

Due to the depletion of fossil resources such as crude oil, coal and natural gas, the impact of
energy crisis is becoming more severe as seen from the intense fluctuation of the crude oil …

This work compares the behaviour between epoxy and novel bio-based castor oil matrix
composites reinforced with glass and aramid fibres manufactured by vacuum infusion. A full …

A systematic study was performed to describe the effect of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) on
storage modulus, glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties in epoxy resin …
