“…Furthermore, these polymers based on renewable resources have often possessed similar properties compared with their petroleum-based counterparts. Up to now, a large quantity of bio-based polymeric materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA) [8], poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) [9], and castor oil based polyamide [10], have already been commercialized. However, compared with the achieved progress on bio-based thermoplastics, the research on bio-based thermosetting resins, especially the thermosetting resins with high glass transition temperature (higher than 100°C) and comparable mechanical properties with petroleum-based counterparts are very limited.…”
