What would happen? Exploring the Integration of Hemp-Derived Carbon Nanosheets into a Hemp Oil and Lignin-Based Epoxy Matrix Abstract This document examines the theoretical and practical implications of integrating Hemp-Derived Carbon Nanosheets (HDCNS) into a bio-based epoxy matrix composed of epoxidized hemp seed oil (EHSO) and modified hemp lignin (MHL). Drawing upon the foundational research by David Mitlin on HDCNS and the conceptual framework proposed by Marie Seshat Landry for "Diamond Composites," this analysis explores the potential outcomes, benefits, and applications of such a composite material. 1. Introduction The pursuit of sustainable, high-performance materials has led to the exploration of hemp as a versatile resource. Hemp's rapid growth, high biomass yield, and minimal environmental impact make it an ideal candidate for developing eco-friendly composites. By integrating HDCNS into a matrix of EHSO and MHL, we aim to create a fully o...
