Abstract
Nowadays,the predominant source for approximately 90%of epoxy resin materials worldwide is the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA).However,the increasing recognition of environmental concerns,such as global warming and the depletion of petroleum reserves,necessitates the exploration of alterna-tive options,specifically bio-epoxy resin derived from sustainable resources.Nonetheless,the inadequate flame retardancy of bio-epoxy resin presents a notable drawback,limiting its applicability in high-risk environments.The objective of this review article is to provide a concise overview of the latest and up-to-date advances in flame-retardant epoxy resins derived from sustainable sources.Firstly,the discus-sion encompasses inherently flame-retardant bio-based epoxy resins,considering both bio-based epoxy monomers and bio-based curing agents,focusing on their flame retardancy and mechanical properties.Furthermore,the utilization of phosphorus-containing and silicon-containing additives in bio-based epoxy is explored.Additionally,a comprehensive evaluation of partially bio-based intrinsically flame retardant epoxy resins is provided.Finally,this article offers an extensive survey of the current state-of-the-art in the field and presents future perspectives,serving as a valuable resource for researchers engaged in the study of flame-retardant epoxy resins derived from sustainable resources.
