Our new article about bringing new functionalites to biobased materials by combining lignocellulosic powders and 3 D printing is now avaialble in open access in Industrial Crops and Products Journal.
In this article, we demonstrated that fluorescently-grafted flax shives incorporated into a filament are suitable for 3D printing. The printed materials reveals sensitivity to pH. This work paves the way to the use of functionalized lignocellulosic biomasses as reinforcements into composites and design 4D materials with potential applications as sensors depending on the fluorophore used.
