Thermosetting (bio)materials derived from renewable resources: A critical review

This review presents the recent advances in the synthesis, properties and applications of thermosetting materials derived from renewable resources. Thermosetting materials are highly cross-linked polymers that are cured or set using heat, or heat and pressure, and/or light irradiation. This leads to high-performance products for industry due to their high modulus, strength, durability and resistance towards thermal stress and chemical attacks as...
