Stimuli responsive bio-based bisphenols for the synthesis of recyclable thermosets
Thermosets are an intriguing class of polymeric materials characterized by high durability and excellent thermal stability, indispensable in many industrial sectors such as construction, transportation and aviation. However, due to precisely these sought-after characteristics, they are typically not recycled, contributing to raising environmental concerns. Moreover, thermosets are typically manufactured from unsustainable, petrol-derived Bisphenol-A. StimulART will tackle the two key scientific challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve sustainability in thermosets and to integrate this material class into the Circular Economy: a.) Enabling efficient low-temperature recycling…
