Abstract
Taking advantage of the spontaneous polymerisation of eugenol to lignin-lik e species catalysed by the surface of crocidolite fibres, a procedure is pr oposed, possibly useful in asbestos removal and disposal, where the polymer avoids the release of airborne fibres and also scavenges ROS (reactive oxy gen species).
