Bioinspired fracture toughness enhancement of a fully bio-based epoxy resin

In this work, the concept of fracture toughness improvement via spatial variation of mechanical properties is applied to a composite with 100% bio-based carbon content based on epoxidized linseed oil. By proper selection of the hardener, either citric acid or sebacic acid, the mechanical properties...
