Due to environmental issues, production costs, and the low recycling capability of
conventional epoxy polymers and their composites, many science groups have tried to …

Fungal cellulases generally contain a reduced amount of β-glucosidase (BG), which does
not allow for efficient cellulose hydrolysis. To address this issue, we implemented an easy co …

The ease of flammability of polymers represents a key issue that limits their applications in
different advanced sectors. In this context, a reliable and effective solution regards the use of …

Flame retardance of epoxy resins is usually imparted using suitable additives and/or
properly modified curing agents. Herein, via a two-step green synthetic procedure, the …

Following a waste-to-wealth approach, humic acid (HA) was exploited as a flame retardant
additive. The effect of its addition alone and in combination with urea (UR) and ammonium …

The manufacturing of non-woven fibrous composites by electrospinning is being spread in
catalysis, adsorption and water purification applications. Specifically designed fillers are …

Silica-epoxy nanocomposites were prepared via an “in-situ” sol-gel synthesis process and a
phosphorus (P) flame-retardant ie 6H-dibenz [c, e][1, 2] oxaphosphorin, 6-[(1-oxido-2, 6, 7 …

Epoxy resins are widely used in a variety of application fields, thanks to their good
