Abstract

Eco-friendly, sustainable, renewable cross-linked materials have become a highly focused area of research in recent years. In this study, vegetable oil-based fully sustainable materials were developed. For this purpose, the composite films were prepared from tung oil and vegetable-based amine, gallic acid, and boric acid. The materials exhibited excellent self-healing properties without any catalyst by dynamic bonds. Self-healing of the materials has been achieved through both amide-imide exchange reactions and boric acid ester bonds. The results show that these materials have the potential as a cost-effective solution for various industrial applications.
