- Rosin Based Composites for Additive ManufacturingPublication . Sousa, Dora; Biscaia, Sara; Viana, Tânia; Gaspar, Miguel Belbut; Mahendra, Vidhura; Mohan, Saeed D.; Mateus, Artur; Mitchell, GeoffreyRosins are the non-volatile exudates of pine resins with hydrophobic characteristics that are widely used as a precursor for many industrial applications. In this paper we discuss the nature, process and its applications as a matrix for a composite material for additive manufacturing. The composite material has been tailored to chemical and mechanical properties with respect to their applications.
- Rosin Product ReviewPublication . Mahendra, VidhuraRosin is the non-volatile exudate of pine resin with hydrophobic characteristics that are widely used and modified as a precursor for many industrial applications such as paints, inks and adhesives. The review paper discusses the rosin, its nature, processing, production material development for green science. The composite materials have been designed and tailored with respect to desired applications to offer a potential replacement of petrochemical use. Rosin consists of different resin acids that can undergo isomerisation at elevated temperatures and interchange its form, which, can be used as a rigid building block to manipulate their mechanical properties and crystallisation behaviours. Modified rosin epoxy binders have been recognised as materials with resistance to a wide variety of chemical conditions that can be used to fabricate a variety of reinforced constructions. Rosin has been employed in foam making in addition to composite material, depicting its ability as a crosslinker.
