Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

ence) and he has been guest editor of special issues in Materials.  on particulate polymer composites (micro and nanocomposites) and he is the head of the research centre of materials in EMA (C2MA) since 2009 (82 people including 30 researchers and lecturers as permanent staff). He works mainly in the areas of physical chemistry of interfaces, durability of composites, and particularly on thermal degradation, fire reaction and behavior of polymer blends containing micro- and nanocomposites. He is co-author of around 120 articles in international journals and has supervised around 30 PhD works. He is the secretary ofa thematic group of the Société Chimique de France (SCF) about the thermal degradation and fire behavior of organic materials. He is member of the scientific committee of various international conferences (FRPM, Eurofillers, ISFRMT, BiPoCo). He was recently the co-chairman of the international conference Eurofillers Polymer Blends 2015 in Montpellier (France). to investigate different kinds of flame retardants such as micro and nano-sized mineral particles, phosphorous compounds and more recently bio-based products. He has also worked on polymer and composites ageing.After a postdoctoral fellowship in Montréal (Ecole Polytechnique, chemistry department) supervised by Pr. Basil Favis from 2006 to 2008, she became research engineer and then associate professor in the Materials Center in Ecoledes Mines d’Alès from 2008 up to now. dex:8

Sustainable development has become a great concern in modern society. The authors of this brief describe how one strategy to reach this objective is to replace oil-based materials with bio-based materials. They emphasize the great efforts that have been made to synthesize new bio-based polymers or additives or to replace glass fibers by natural fibers in composites. Flame retardancy is one of the most desired properties for many applications in wires and cables, building, transport, electric and electronic devices. The authors of this fascinating and timely brief summarize this important field in three parts. The flame retardancy of biobased polymers, the flame retardancy of natural fibers composites, and the synthesis and efficiency of biobased flame retardants.
