VL - 267 AV - none N1 - cited By 4 N2 - The quest for environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in the production of fibre reinforced composite materials has led to the use of biobased materials, which are easily accessible and renewable. Biomass-derived chemicals, their derivatives, and their applications have become increasingly prevalent in various industries and processes, greatly contributing to the goal of ecological sustainability. The biobased Polyfurfuryl Alcohol (PFA) resin is one of such polymeric materials that is gaining attention for composite applications due to its endearing Fire Smoke and Toxicity properties. Derived from agricultural by products such as sugar cane bagasse, it has been known for applications within the foundry, coating, and wood industries. However, there has been a growing interest in its use for fibre reinforced composite applications. For this reason, this work intends to provide a comprehensive review of the PFA resin in relationship to fibre reinforced composites applications. The work provides an in-depth discussion on the synthesis, curing process, manufacturing, and properties of the PFA resin as well as its composites. © 2023 The Authors KW - Agricultural wastes; Curing; Fiber reinforced plastics; Fibers; Gas emissions; Greenhouse gases; Polymerization; Resins; Smoke; Sugar cane KW - Bio-based; Composite applications; Cure kinetics; Environment friendly; Fibre-reinforced composite; Greenhouse gas emissions; Polyfurfuryl alcohol resin; Polyfurfuryl alcohols; Property; Review of advancements KW - Sustainable development ID - scholars18003 TI - A review of advancements in synthesis, manufacturing and properties of environment friendly biobased Polyfurfuryl Alcohol Resin and its Composites ER -
