Synthesis of a Sustainable and Bisphenol A‐Free Epoxy Resin Based on Sorbic Acid and Characterization of the Cured Thermoset

Abstract In the present study, an epoxy compound, 1,2‐epoxy‐6‐methyl‐triglycidyl‐3,4,5‐cyclohexanetricarboxylate (EGCHC) synthesized from sorbic acid, maleic anhydride, and allyl alcohol is proposed. Using commodity chemicals, a bio‐based carbon content of 68.4 % for the EGCHC resin is achieved. Whe...
