Revealing the Dynamics of Sustainable Epoxy-Acrylate Networks from Recycled Plastics Blends and Oligomeric Lignin Precursors.

The pursuit of carbon circularity in the fabrication of new materials has driven the increased use of recycled and biobased resources, a practice that has become more prevalent in recent years. In epoxy resin systems, alternatives to the use of fossil-based bisphenols have been proposed such as via the production of recycled bisphenol A (r-BPA) or by substitution with lignin derivatives, both of which are recovered from previous processes, promoting circularity. For this study, r-BPA was obtained via the chemical recycling of plastic blends from end-of-life (eol) televisions (TV).
