Abstract Here, we report the mechanical and water sorption properties of a green
composite based on Typha latifolia fibres. The composite was prepared either
completely binder-less or bonded with 10% (w/w) of a bio-based resin which
was a mixture of an epoxidized linseed oil and a tall-oil based polyamide. The
flexural modulus of elasticity, the flexural strength and the water absorption of
hot pressed Typha panels were measured and the influence of pressing time and
panel density on these properties was investigated. The cure kinetics of the biobased resin was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in combination More >
