In polymer science and industry, the important role of thermosetting resin is well-recognized.
However, most thermosets suffer from the overdependence on petroleum resource and in …

Recent advances in macromolecular chemistry have revolutionized the way we perceive the
synthesis of polymers. Polymerization, to be modern, must be “controlled”, which usually …

The combination of awareness of harmful industrial processes and environmental issues
and depleting petroleum‐based resources has spurred much research in develo** …

Thermosetting plastics cannot be reprocessed and recycled due to their permanent and
strong covalent cross-linking bonds, and their use could result in serious environmental …

Epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO)–based epoxy vitrimer is a promising bio-based material to
replace the non-recyclable and ever-increasing petrol-based thermoset. However, the low …

Due to the rapid depletion of crude oil and serious environmental pollution, the synthesis of
polymers from renewable resource is becoming more and more important. Up to now, a …

ABSTRACT Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is regarded as one of the most promising biobased and
biodegradable polymers due its various advantages including high mechanical strength …

Epoxy resins are one of the most widely used thermosets in different engineering fields, due
to their chemical resistance and thermo-mechanical properties. Recently, bio-based …

In this work, a systematic coupling study of silane coupling agent between starch and
epoxidized soybean oils (ESO) was carried out. Starch was modified by 3-aminopropyl …

Reinforcement, recycling, and functional applications are three important issues in
elastomer science and engineering. It is of great importance, but rarely achievable, to …
