“…Chitin mainly comes from ocean biomass such as the exoskeletons of crabs, lobsters and shrimps, and some from cephalopods (e.g. squids and octopuses) (Rouilly and Vaca-Garcia 2015). It is also found in insects (e.g.…”

“…ants, beetles and butterflies), fungi and alga (Liu et al 2016). Chitin is commonly applied as separation membrane for water purification, as thickening and stabilizing agent for food and pharmaceuticals, as well as binder in dyes, fabrics and additives (Rouilly and Vaca-Garcia 2015). Chitin with a linear and semi-crystalline structure is made into fibres for textiles, sutures, dressings and biodegradable substrate (Rinaudo 2006;Pillai et al 2009).…”

This work was carried out during 2016-2020, under the supervision of Professor Orlando J. Rojas. This dissertation was completed under the framework of the DWoC project funded by Business Finland, the "High-value Products from Lignin" (LIFT) project under the NordForsk program and the "BioELCell" (788489) program under the European Commission H2020-ERC-2017-Advanced Grant. Additional acknowledgement goes to the Paper Engineer's Association and Walter Ahlström foundation for their financial support for conference travels. I like to give my deepest appreciation to Professor Orlando J. Rojas for providing me the opportunity to challenge myself for the duration of my doctoral degree. I feel so lucky to become your student. The process was not that smooth, but you are always there to help me. The trust, freedom, knowledge and patience you have given, were all crucial to get me to this stage. The positive influences do not only go to my scientific research, but also to my attitude to life. I am extremely grateful for all your support and guidance. These words cannot express all my feelings, nor my thanks for all your helps. A special thank you to my thesis advisors Dr. Maryam Borghei and Professor Mariko Ago. Maryam, it was great to work alongside you and discover the topic of my doctoral thesis. As an advisor, you are always there for me. Thank you for helping me fix all the issues on both experiments and writings. Mariko, you were with me during the first two years of my doctoral studies, which was a very important time for growth. In order to find my research topic, we tried numerous experiments together; it was a great experience. I also want to thank Gisela Cunha and Julio Arboleda who were my advisors for a short term but gave me good suggestions and inspirations. My gratitude also goes to the project members in DWoC and LIFT. I am especially thankful to Hannes Orelma for managing the WP6 team with such a wonderful and creative atmosphere. A great thanks goes to Meri Lundhal, who introduced spinning to me and acted as an advisor during the whole PhD process. Thank you for all the training and advices you have given and the introduction to Teraloop. Thanks also go to

“…This study contributes to the branch of research investigating natural construction materials (Asdrubali et al, 2015;Madurwar et al, 2013;Pisello and Rosso, 2015;Rosso et al, 2016b;Rouilly and Vaca-Garcia, 2015), towards decreasing the environmental impact of the construction sector (Cabeza et al, 2013;Orsini and Marrone, 2019). Many studies investigated natural materials for thermal insulation (Liu et al, 2017;Pennacchio et al, 2017;Pisello and Rosso, 2015;Schiavoni et al, 2016), as well as for external envelope application (Claramunt et al, 2016;Rosso et al, 2018;Rosso et al, 2014;Torres-Rivas et al, 2018;Zea Escamilla and Habert, 2014), or as load bearing elements (Cascone et al, 2019;Serrano et al, 2016cSerrano et al, , 2016bSerrano et al, , 2016a, or for external paving application (Lu et al, 2019).…”

Development of Foam Composites from Flax Gum-Filled Epoxy Resin

In the present work, an innovative range of foams, based on flax gum-filled epoxy resin was developed, reinforced or not by flax fibers. Foams and composites with different gum and epoxy resin contents were produced and characterized for mechanical and thermal performances. To enhance the organic flax gum filler's cross-linking, we exploited the oxidized components' reactivity with the amine hardener (isophorone diamine). We compared the materials obtained with those derived from the native components. Flax gum and fibers were primarily characterized by chemical analysis, NMR, and FTIR to evaluate the mild oxidation of native materials. The formation of chemical bonds between oxidized polymer chains, epoxy resin, and hardener has been evidenced by FTIR, and the materials were then studied by SEM, X-ray computed micro-tomography (CT), and submitted to mechanical and thermal tests. The relevance of oxidation treatment was highlighted, through a significant increase in density and mechanical performances (+36% and +81%, respectively for the 100% flax gum material). The positive effect of flax fibers on homogeneity evidenced through micro-CT analysis was also clearly addressed. This set of promising results paves the way for future development of fully flax-based insulation composite materials.
