Furan bioresin: Synthesis, characterization, curing and preliminary mechanical evaluation of its glass fabric-reinforced biocomposite

Poly(furfuryl alcohol) bioresin with different carbonyl content were synthesized using maleic anhydride or ptoluene sulfonic acid catalysts. The furan bio-resins were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The reaction variables like time were to achieve desirable viscosity. The bio-resin curing was studied by differential scanning calorimetry using different amounts of curing agent. Mechanical performance of the glass fabricreinforced bio-composite prepared from the bio-resin was preliminarily evaluated by flexural testing
