“…Due to their exceptional resistance to corrosive chemicals (e.g. acids, alkalis and other solvents), they are also used in built environment as cementitious grouts, mortars, coating, impregnating materials, and sealants [61,72,[113][114][115]. These resins are also used in hospital operating floor coverings which demand low electrostatic resistivity to prevent electrostatic discharge from igniting flammable liquid substances often used in hospital environments [116].…”

“…When reinforced with fibre-glass, a material that is resistant to corrosion and heat distortion (at elevated temperature) with low flame and smoke emission level is obtained. This material finds applications in reinforced tanks, pipes, reaction vessels, vats, and ducts [72,[117][118][119]. For example, Lecite ® mortar, an FA resin, developed by Electro Chemical Engineering & Manufacturing, Emmaus, Pa, United States, was used in the construction of the scrubbing tower [120].…”

Renewable agricultural biomass derived chemicals, their modifications and uses have seen multiplicity in numerous applications and important processes with major impacts on the pursuit for eco-sustainability. Such applications range include the energy sector, chemistry, pharmacy, the textile industry, paints and coatings, plastic industry, to name but a few. This field of lignocellulosic derived chemicals interconnects several scientific disciplines ranging from agriculture, biochemistry, engineering, environmental sciences, forestry, pharmacy, medicine, etc. hence making it difficult to have a single expert view on these complicated interactions. Therefore, the idea to create a focused review, specifically, on FA (an important furanic compound) is the main objective of this article. FA and its resultant derivatives exhibits an array of capabilities and fascinating properties in various fields of applications. As a compound or with co-reactants, it finds interesting applications as base and/or intermediate chemical compound, hypergolic rocket fuels, in flame resistant composites and coatings used in aerospace, auto, and the built environment; it also finds application as mortars, cementitious grouts, impregnating materials, and sealants due to its exceptional resistance to common corrosive chemicals such as acids, alkalis and other solvents when it is cross-linked. Coupled with its environmental and economic benefits FA has proved to be a remarkable eco-sustainable bio-derived compound.

“…To fulfill the goal of reducing hazardous waste and producing high-performance materials from "green" materials, any proposed green or biobased alternatives to petroleum-based materials must meet several basic requirements before they can be used for high-performance materials and composites. The biobased precursors must be obtainable in large quantities in a consistent quality from renewable feedstocks, reasonably priced on the market, reactive in diverse reactions (6), and, most important to the DOD, have properties that can be maintained in highly stressful environments, such as solid rocket boosters or aviation and military structures (7).…”

“…This makes the furan ring of furfural unstable in acidic medium. Thus, condensation reaction of phenol and furfural cannot be carried out by acid catalysts 6–8. In acidic medium, phenol–furfural resins readily undergo a cationic polymerization reaction to give black infusible materials.…”

In this work, the Diels-Alder reaction between the acrylate groups of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil and the furan rings of p-tertiary butyl phenol furfural resin (TBPF) is described. The reaction was carried out at 110 C in presence of FeCl 3 catalyst, and tough polymers were obtained in 1 h. Surprisingly, samples that were heated and cooled 5, 10, and 20 times to 140 C and room temperature had better mechanical properties than samples that were kept at 140 C for the same total duration. This unexpected behavior is attributed to a series of forward and retro Diels-Alder reactions between the functional groups. To prove this hypothesis, a model reaction between TBPF and n-butyl acrylate was studied. At 100 C, 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance signals of the furan ring protons disappeared, only to reappear at 140 C. Thermogravimetric analysis of the adduct showed a weight loss at 140-150 C, which was in quantitative agreement with the amount of butyl acrylate. Infrared analysis showed that furan rings were not completely consumed by extended heating at 110 C. After five heating and cooling cycles of much shorter duration at 140 C, the furan absorption in the infrared disappeared. The storage modulus of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil-TBPF samples after 20 heating cycles was 1.15 GPa.
