Plastic materials have contributed to the affluent daily life of modern people and the development of the industry with their diverse and excellent function. However, it is emerging as a cause of serious environmental pollution such as plastic waste and microplastic. Generally, in the case of thermoplastics, it is considered that waste plastics can be treated through incineration or recycling, but in the case of thermosets, it is basically impossible to decompose. In this study, we suggest an eco-friendly thermoset that can be easily decomposed in basic condition. The bio-based thermoset was synthesized via epoxidation of isosorbide by epichlorohydrin. Our strategy is to introduce ester functional groups into thermosets to improve degradation properties. The cross-linked thermoset polymer decomposes completely in one day at the basic condition. The resulting thermosets with degradation properties will contribute to solving environmental problems such as waste disposal and microplastic. |
