We are very happy to share the latest publication of our group, entitled "Fully biobased materials with improved thermal and biodegradation properties", which was published in Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment. The principal goal of this publication was the investigation of the effect of the combatibilizer on the properties of fully biobased composite materials.
This publication signals the end of a series of successful dessimination actions of KYKA project. The main objective of this project was the development of new composite products from agricultural residues (non-usable parts of industrial cannabis stems) and polymers from renewable sources or recyclable materials.
BikiarisLab, along with AMDE Lab (Department of Physics, AUTH), has published 2 additional publications, based on the obtained results of this reseach project.
Specifically, our first paper entitled "Evaluation of Eco-Friendly Hemp-Fiber-Reinforced Recycled HDPE Composites" determines the effectiveness of the combatibilizer on the properties of composites based on hemp fibers and recycled HDPE, while our second one " Thermal Degradation Mechanism and Decomposition Kinetic Studies of Poly(Ethylene Succinate)/Hemp Fiber Composites" was focused on the investigation of the thermal degradation of the produced composite materials. Both publications have been published in Journal of Composite Science.
Furthermore, BikiarisLab has participated in more than 10 international and national conferences with proceedings, presenting the obtained results of KYKA project.
We would like to thank all the partners of this amazing project for the excellent collaboration.
Looking forward for our next steps together!
