Abstract
= 131.3 MPa). Furthermore, the low volatility of DMI addresses the health, safety, and ecological concerns associated with the commonly used styrene. This technology not only presents a promising avenue for sustainable UP resin for glass fiber reinforced composites but also allows upcycling PET waste.
