  • Flame-retardant treatment of lignocellulosic materials, resulting flame-retarded lignocellulosic materials and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11964407
    Abstract: A flame retardant treatment of a lignocellulosic material, which includes: optionally steam exploding the lignocellulosic material, impregnating the optionally steam-exploded lignocellulosic material, in or with an aqueous solution, from 0.5% to 10% of phytic acid and from 1% to 30% of urea, based on the total weight of the aqueous solution, optionally drying of the impregnated lignocellulosic material, until the impregnated lignocellulosic material has a moisture content from 5% to 20% by weight, cooking the impregnated and optionally dried lignocellulosic material, the resulting flame-retarded lignocellulosic material including a phosphorous content originating from the phytic acid from 0.1% to 10% by weight.

  • USE OF AEROGELS FOR PREPARING A MATERIAL FOR THERMAL INSULATION
    Publication number: 20120097884
    Abstract: Material for thermal insulation including an aerogel obtained by drying an organogel prepared from the pseudopeptides of formula (I). in which R represents a side chain of an amino acid, R1 represents a (C1-C8)alkyl, (C1-C8)alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, or glycoside group, n=1 or 2 and A represents an aromatic group with one or more rings.
