As carbon-neutral, environment-friendly adhesion material, furan-containing epoxide monomers (F2, F5, F7, F11, F13, F15, F19, F22, F25) were designed and synthesized. Bicyclic skeleton were synthesised from the Diels-Alder reaction of furan with maleic anhydride or methyl acrylate, both of which are readily accessible from a biomass via bio-refinery process. After reduction of ester functionality, resulting hydroxyl moiety were coupled to epichlorohydrin to provided the epoxy-functionalized furanic monomers(F5, F7, F11, F13, F15,). Bisphenol-A mimetic compounds(F19, F22, F25), The structure of in which the phenyl groups are substituted with furan rings, were synthesized from a acid-promoted condensation reaction of 2-methyl furoate with acetone, formaldehyde, or acetaldehyde, respectively. The structure of new furanic monomers were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. As UV-curable monomers, basic properties such as UV curing time and the extent of UV curing were evaluated by photo DSC. Photo-curing shrinkage were measeured by linear variable differential transformer transduser (LVDT) and UV Spot curing apparatus.
