Increasing the flame retardancy of lignocellulosic materials such as Miscanthus × giganteus can effectively enable their wide use. This study examines fireproofing process particles using an eco-friendly by grafting phytic acid and urea in aqueous solution. underwent a steam explosion step before being grafted. Fireproof binderless particle panels were manufactured from miscanthus with or without adding olive pomace hot-pressing. The effect and/or flame-retardant treatment on morphology,...
Recycling olive waste, a major by-product of the oil industry, presents significant environmental and economic benefits. This study explores potential waste (OW) by-products, specifically their individual components such as stones (OS), oily pomace (OS) oil-free (OF), sustainable alternatives to wood in eco-friendly composite materials, alongside other residues miscanthus, spent mushroom substrate recycled textile waste. Composite panels were produced with densities ranging from 685 907...
ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is devoted to the development new insulating and ignifuged miscanthus fibers (Mf)/recycled textile (RTf) reinforced biocomposites (BCs) using chitosan as polysaccharide‐based binder aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) fillers while focusing on fire behavior. To achieve goal, a preliminary was carried out flame retarded chitosan‐based films with various ATH‐filler ratios (20, 33, 50, 60 wt %). ATG pyrolysis‐combustion flow calorimeter analysis showed...
