Manufacturing bio-tiles
Bio-tiles are a biobased alternative to conventional tiles that utilise a promising low energy technology called microbially induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP). This work aimed to determine whether bio-tiles that meet the strength requirements of conventional ceramic tiles could …

Développement de nouveaux produits époxy biosourcés à base de dioxyde de limonène
… efforts are being made to replace DGEBA by a biobased source because it is petroleum-based and based on BPA which is toxic. Many bio-materials have been presented in the literature as a replacement to DGEBA. However, most of them are functionalized with ECH which is a toxic molecule, too.1,2 …
