Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In recent years there has been a growing interest on biobased composites due to increased environmental awareness. Thermosetting bioresins are potential alternatives to synthetic ones to develop various composite products. This chapter covers the general introduction of bioresins and highlights the importance of biocomposites to meet the environmental challenges. Biocomposites specially produced from biobased thermosetting resins are discussed here. Thermosetting bioresins are interesting materials for developing highly cross-linked structures. A comparative study is done between the commercial grades of bioresins and bioresins synthesized in laboratories. The synthesis of thermosetting bioresins and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed here and finally, future prospects are analysed.
