Recent years have witnessed significant progress in bio-based epoxy thermosets. A variety
of epoxy thermosets have been synthesized from various bioresources. In particular, epoxy …

It is always a challenge to prepare multifunctional epoxy resins (EP) composites with
excellent flame retardance, mechanical property and high transparency. In this work, a …

Membrane separations has been increasingly recognized as a key technology platform for
improving the energy efficiency of many separations processes. Likewise, additive …

Using adhesives for connection technology has many benefits. It is cost-efficient, fast, and
allows homogeneous stress distribution between the bonded surfaces. This paper gives an …

Biobased epoxy monomers from divanillyl alcohol were successfully synthesized and
characterized. These monomers, that is, diglycidylether of divanillyl alcohol (DiGEDVA) …

The curing kinetics of epoxy resin (EP) play an important role in optimizing the final
properties of the resin, such as thermal stability, flame retardancy and mechanical …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is the main precursor in the synthesis of epoxy resins. However, because
of its toxic and nonrenewable nature, BPA is unsuitable in the sustainable preparation of …

Herein a unique strategy for cellulose nanocrystal functionalization is presented in the form
of surface functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals. Cellulose nanocrystals were prepared …

Epoxidized plant oil (EPO) thermosets usually exhibit poor performance due to the short,
brittle, and amorphous cross-link structures. To fabricate fully biobased high performance …
