Bio-Based Epoxies and Composites for Technical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the thermal and mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced bio-epoxy materials in which the bio-content has been varied from 0 up to 100 %. Assorted formulations based on standard epoxy resin and epoxidized plant oil with varying bio-hardeners in differing matrix formulations, filler contents and fibers were used. DSC, TGA, DMA and HDT tests were carried out, as well as tensile and Charpy impact tests. The results show possible technical applications for bio-based epoxy materials.
