Faced with the new economic and environmental challenges of today’s world, as demonstrated by the vagaries of petroleum product prices and increasingly stringent legislation on emissions and harmful effects to the environment, it is becoming crucial to develop materials which reduce the energy consumption of transport vehicles. The BIOCOMPAL project aims to develop new lightweight high-performance bio-based materials with a low carbon footprint, through the high added value recovery of regional agricultural and forestry biomass for structural application in the transport sector (aeronautics, railways), of which the industries are well-established in the cross-border region. The objectives pursued by the project are therefore to produce innovative high-performance thermosetting resins based on renewable natural phenols; to develop new designs of high-performance textile reinforcements based on natural technical fibres from local agricultural flax crops; to develop a method of implementation and a form of low-carbon composite using the compounds developed (i.e. the resin and the textile reinforcement) and to produce a prototype to validate the approach of the project.
