Bio-based Unsaturated Polyesters

Abstract Unsaturated polyester resins have been widely used due to their suitable performance, superior processability, and low cost, while they are produced from nonrenewable fossil resources and have a strong styrene odor. In the past few years, rapid development in alternatives from renewable bioresources has been witnessed. In this chapter, research progress in bio-based unsaturated polyesters (UPs) as well as bio-based reactive diluents are summarized. These bio-based UPs were classified into four types based on the main bioresource used, namely itaconic acid, isosorbide, furan compounds, and vegetable oils. Other bio-based chemicals for UPs were also mentioned during the introduction to these four types. An introduction to the raw materials, synthetic routes, properties, and some applications of these bio-based UPs are given. The development of bio-based diluents is discussed as well. Finally, conclusions and perspectives are highlighted.
