Facile Catalyst‐Free Approach toward Fully Biobased Reprocessable Lignin Thermosets

Abstract Reprocessable and biobased thermosets are prepared from two renewable feedstocks, lignin and polyamine (Priamine 1071). Lignin is oxidized to produce polycarbonyl and further reacts with polyamine to form a crosslinked network of imines. The thermoset materials are formed under heat and pressure in the absence of any catalysts. The mechanical strength and thermal properties of thermosets are tunable by changing feedstock ratios. The dynamic imine crosslinks can be associatively reformed.
