From lignin fractions to polymerizable lignin-derived synthons and biobased, recyclable thermosetting polymers Ghent University
The present projects aims at the development of recyclable lignin-based thermosetting polymers as a sustainable alternative for petroleum-based unsaturated polyester resins which are normally not recyclable. While lignin has already been identified as an attractive bio-source, this project will take up a new challenge by using (monomeric) and oligomeric mixtures as novel feedstock for the development of bio-based and recyclable thermosets ...
