Unusual self-organization of sepiolite fibbers have been found during the synthesis of sustainable nanocomposites. These auto-structured networks are synthesized starting with an epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), a bio-based hardener of dicarboxylic class and sepiolite fibbers. For the first time, the auto-organization of sepiolite fibbers into empty or solid spheres insight a bio-based thermoset matrix have been highlighted and synthesized. The influence of the thermoset formulation and the sepiolite concentration on self-organization are emphasized. The thermomechanical properties of nanocomposites have been investigated highlighting an increasing of elastic modulus from 30 to 40 % in the vitreous states and from 25 to 45 % in the rubbery state. This peculiar organization and behaviour of sepiolite, similar to that of surfactants, is of great interest as fundamental, applicative and industrial level.

The appearance in the French press of Al Capone’s banditry compensates the supposed victory of fascism against the Mafia. In the space of a few years, it reveals a new criminality whose operating modes equal those of the Mafia. But this press, dazzled by the violence and novelty of this banditry fails to grasp its similarities to the Mafia. Exposing the ways in which French journalists reveals this criminality, the article questions the reasons why they do not see its proximity to the Mafia.
