Synthesis and Characterisation of Bio-derived Flame Retardant Epoxy Resin Systems

This thesis uses bio-based feedstocks like tannic acid and eugenol to synthesize high-performance polymer networks, enhancing fire retardancy while maintaining performance. It aims to demonstrate these networks as viable, eco-friendly alternatives to petrochemical materials, aligning with sustainable development. A holistic approach investigates each resin system component: epoxy resin, hardener, and additive.<p></p>
