Levoglucosenone to 3D-printed green materials: synthesizing sustainable and tunable monomers for eco-friendly photo-curing

“…This result is in accordance with previous work where the chemical structure of the monomers influenced the final T g . 46,47…”

“…This result is in accordance with previous work where the chemical structure of the monomers influenced the final T g . 46,47 The viscoelastic properties of the crosslinked networks were investigated by means of DMTA analysis (Fig. S20 † and Table 2).…”

“…15 Among the UV-curing-based technologies, thiol-ene click chemistry represents an attractive process which allows high conversion due to the click-characteristic (i.e., a 1 : 1 reaction between thiol and ene functionalities) and the lack of oxygen inhibition. [16][17][18] This chemistry has been explored with several bio-based platforms in recent years, such as levoglucosan, 19 terpenes, 20,21 furans, 22,23 and isosorbide derivatives. [24][25][26] However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have been conducted on the UV-curing of LGO derivatives yet.…”

Sustainable Bio-Based UV-Cured Epoxy Vitrimer from Castor Oil

“…In our group we have deeply investigated the sustainability of UV-curable process by studying the reactivity of bio-based monomers towards both radical [ 30 , 31 ] and cationic [ 22 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ] mechanism. We have also studied fossil-based photo-cured vitrimers, where we described a convenient approach for a locally controllable photoactivation of vitrimeric properties in a covalently crosslinked thiol-epoxy network, exploiting the UV-mediated release of a strong amidine base acting as an efficient transesterification catalyst [ 38 ].…”
