The Chinese Academy of Sciences develops bio-based epoxy resins
Recently, the research team of bio-based polymer materials at the Ningbo Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences synthesized a bio-based epoxy resin
from itaconic acid.
The resin has low room temperature viscosity, epoxy value higher than 0.
62, simple synthesis process, and the performance indicators after curing reach or are better than the existing petroleum-based epoxy resin with similar structure, and the price is low, and it has good application prospects
.
It is understood that itaconic acid, also known as methylene succinic acid, is an important bio-based raw material that can be prepared by biological fermentation technology
.
Due to its broad application prospects and low price, the resin has been selected by the U.
S.
Department of Energy as one of
the 12 bio-based platform compounds with the most market potential.
Bio-based polymer materials have become an important development direction of current polymer materials, which have important practical value and broad development space
.
At present, the research on bio-based plastics is mainly limited to starch plastics, cellulose-based materials, polylactic acid (PLA), poly-3-hydroxybutyrate/3-hydroxyvalerate copolymer (PHBV) and other natural polymers or thermoplastic materials, and the research of thermosetting bio-based resins is relatively small
