Epoxy resins (EPs), accounting for about 70% of the thermosetting resin market, have been
recognized as the most widely used thermosetting resins in the world. Nowadays, 90% of …

The recycling of biomass into high-value-added materials requires important developments
in research and technology to create a sustainable circular economy. Lignin, as a …

Lignin can be used as a sustainable alternative to bisphenol A (BPA) to prepared lignin-
based epoxy resins. Lignin effects including molecular weight, phenolic content, G/S unit …

Lignin has been extensively explored as a renewable precursor for materials fabrication.
However, its low reactivity is one of the main challenges for material development. Herein …

This paper reports a bio-based vanillin-derived epoxy (VDE) resin for bio-based natural fiber-
reinforced composites. VDE monomer was synthesized, and curing agents, namely, 4, 4´ …

With the growing global population and rapid economic development, the demand for
energy and raw materials is increasing, and the supply of fossil resources as the main …

As an inedible component of biomass, lignin features rich functional groups that are desired
for chemical syntheses. How to effectively depolymerize lignin without compromising the …

This study comprehensively examines recent developments in bio-epoxy resins and their
applications in composites. Despite the reliability of traditional epoxy systems, the increasing …

A series of renewable lignin-derived imine hardeners (LDIHs) with different contents of
methoxy-group (n= 0–2) were successfully prepared using lignin-derivative aldehydes …

A series of novel waterborne lignin-based epoxy resin emulsions (WLEPs) were
successfully synthesized, and then the WLEPs were cured with polyamide (PA) to give …
