Abstract

Taking advantage of the spontaneous polymerisation of eugenol to lignin-like species catalysed by the surface of crocidolite fibres, a procedure is proposed, possibly useful in asbestos removal and disposal, where the polymer avoids the release of airborne fibres and also scavenges ROS (reactive oxygen species).
