In few recent years, it is seen that there is a rapid expansion in the area of bio based thermosetting resins sighting the reason that it has bright future. The curiosity in developing bio based products and bio based refinery processes has been strengthened due to the swift exhaustion of petroleum and also due to new environmental set of laws. The mostly used epoxy resins are by and large diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), which is petroleum based ones owing to its superior mechanical and thermal properties. But the research is in full fledge to hit upon a bio-based sustainable substitute for DGEBA. As the researches over the years have shown that, bio-epoxy derived from neither natural oil nor lignin derivatives or other bio-based aromatic resins are able to fully replace DGEBA in terms of all properties. Hence, it opens a wide window open for their blends with DGEBA. This paper will shower a light on the current progresses made in the field of bio-based epoxy monomers derived from different natural oils and its blends with DGEBA, lignin derived aromatic resins and finally a novel bio-epoxy derived from magnolol. The magnolol derived diglycidyl ether of magnolol (DGEM) was found to have comparable mechanical and thermal properties with better flame retardancy and hence could be a good contender to replace DGEBA.

Polypropylene Matrix

Recycled polypropylene was reinforced with treated and non-treated wood flour with different natural oils. Four natural oils were used as coupling agents, namely hexanoic (C6), octanoic (C8), decanoic (C10) and dodecanoic (C12) acids. The mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of the resulting composites were evaluated. The usage of natural oils as coupling agents clearly improved the interfacial adhesion between wood flour and the polypropylene matrix while enhancing the mechanical and thermal properties. Better results were obtained when C8 was used. The improvement in the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites imparted by C8 is similar to that promoted by maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene. The mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were affected by the boiling temperature and chain length of the natural oil used.

Diglycidyl Ether

Beyond the need to find a non-toxic alternative to DiGlycidyl Ether of Bisphenol-A (DGEBA), the serious subject of non-epichlorohydrin epoxy resins production remains a crucial challenge that must be solved for the next epoxy resin generations.

Mdf Cements

Macro-defect-free (MDF) cements are cement-polymer composites and were developed by Birchall et al. three decades ago. The composites are produced by mixing small amounts of polymer and water with cement. However, they have a different production method than that of cement pastes, which was inspired by rubber production. Mixtures of cement, polymer and water are processed by using a two-roll mill. The composites are known with their high flexural strengths. Unfortunately, there are not any known commercial products using MDF cements because of their poor durability under moisture. In this study, MDF cements were prepared by using poly(vinyl alcohol--vinyl acetate) PVA, calcium aluminate cements and two different types of epoxy resins. Epoxy resins were a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and a mixture of a diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A and F. Durability performance was compared with respect to biaxial flexural strengths, contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the specimens stored in water.
