Abstract

The chapter delves into the advantages of renewable raw materials for reducing the carbon footprint in the production of natural fiber composites. It highlights the development of a bio-based epoxy hardener with a high bio-carbon content, capable of curing at elevated temperatures. The study compares the mechanical properties of these composites with conventional petroleum-based systems, showcasing similar performance while offering environmental benefits. The research also investigates the influence of water and moisture on the glass transition temperature and the curing kinetics of the epoxy resins, providing valuable insights for future improvements.
