Abstract

Thermosets play a critical role in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and construction industries due to their mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Advanced thermoset materials, such as epoxy resins, phenolic resins and unsaturated polyester resins, have significantly contributed to industrial innovation. However, these traditional thermosets heavily rely on petroleum-based resources and suffer non-recyclability and even high flammability. Last years have witnessed the use of many renewable chemicals for developing advanced bio-based thermosets with tunable physical properties, such as recyclability and reprocessability enabled by dynamic covalent chemistries, fire retardancy,…
