Bisphenol A-type epoxy (ER) is a versatile synthetic polymer preferred for composite materials but non-biodegradability raises challenges for composites recycling in particular. The present study first investigated the potential usability of peach kernel shells (PKSh) waste as fillers in ER to decre...
