New generation adhesives derived from plant resources
[ONLINE PUBLICATION]
This study proposes a sustainable alternative to materials that are still predominantly petroleum-based.
A bio-based, recyclable, semi-crystalline adhesive with vitreous behavior has been developed from hyperbranched polyesters synthesized without solvents from non-edible rapeseed oil.
These materials combine adhesive and mechanical performance thanks to dynamic boronic crosslinking, while retaining their properties after thermal recycling.
This work paves the way for a new generation of sustainable, recyclable, high-performance adhesives with properties that meet current industrial needs.
A promising innovation to support the evolution of materials towards more sustainable solutions.
