Bio-Oil-Based Epoxy Resins from Thermochemical Processing of Sustainable Resources: A Short Review

Epoxy is the most prevalent thermosetting resin in field of polymer composite materials. There has been a growing interest development bio-based epoxy resins as sustainable alternative to conventional petrochemical resins. Advances this recent years have included use various renewable resources, such vegetable oils, lignin, and sugars, direct precursors produce In meantime, bio-oils produced via decomposition biomass through thermochemical conversion mainly being used liquid fuels. It noteworthy that can be resource This review addresses research progress producing bio-oil-based from processing techniques including organic solvent liquefaction, fast pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction. The production bio-oil its inject sustainability into are discussed. Herein, we intend provide an overall picture current attempts area resins, reveal their potential for stimulate interests green/renewable
