Abstract:The development of 3D printing technologies and the requirement for more sustainable 3D printing materials is constantly growing. However, ensuring both sustainability and performance of the new materials is crucial to replace current fossil‐based polymers. Here, a bio‐based UV‐curable resin is produced in high yield from gallic acid (GA), a natural polyphenolic compound, by means of rapid and efficient microwave‐assisted methacrylation (5 min heating time and 10 min at 130 °C). The successful microwave‐assist… Show more
