This scientific paper emphasizes the synthesis of a bio-based tannic acid epoxy (TAE100) with high bio-content obtained by simple surface modification of tannic acid (TA). The resin was further cured with a biobased hardener poly(amido amine). Three contrast epoxy resins were also prepared with 50%, 75%, and 90% TA along with the rest amount of bisphenol A (BPA). Upon investigating mechanical properties, TAE100 exhibited a maximum tensile strength of 18.4 MPa (against 3.1-15.3 MPa for partially bio-based ones) with 16% of elongation at break (against 39.1%-63.5% for partially bio-based ones). The high adhesive strength (4545 MPa) obtained for TAE100 (compared to 881-2715 MPa for partially biobased ones) on wood-wood surfaces reflecting good adhesive character of the bio-based epoxy and offered potential applicability in the field of eco-coatings and adhesives. Two-stage thermal degradation behavior with initial decomposition temperature of 232 C revealed its good thermostability. Most importantly, the thermosets were biodegradable, as indicated by the microbial test.
