Biobased Thermosetting Polymers: Introduction

• Biobased thermosetting polymers are also known as biobased resins that are derived from renewable resources such as algae, microorganisms, and plants
• Thermosetting polymers are in soft solid or viscous state. Upon heating, they undergo extensive cross-linking and become irreversibly hard.
• Biobased thermosetting polymers derived from natural resources are highlighted for greater sustainability for various applications
• Advantages of biobased thermosetting polymers include low prices as the polymers are derived from natural resources. These polymers are less dangerous and harmful than the conventional materials used in chemical industries.
• Biobased thermosetting polymers products have gained popularity due to the depletion of fossil reserves and protection of the environment from carbon emissions
