Epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO) – based epoxy vitrimer is a promising bio-based material to replace the non-recyclable and ever-increasing petrol-based thermoset. However, the low overall properties of EVO-based epoxy vitrimer are relatively unmatchable to petrol-based thermoset, retarding the substi...
