Reprocessing thermoset polymers is challenging. In this study, a sustainable bio-based thermoset has been developed. The prepared thermoset consists of naringenin and biocompatible polymer components. Naringenin, which has three phenolic group, has been converted to a new multifunctional monomer containing glycidyl groups and readily formed a thermosetting network via epoxide ring opening reaction with a poly(ethylene glycol) diacid under solvent free condition. It shows shape memory behavior and recyclability. Thus, it can be used to create different diverse temporary shapes via heat and water., Moreover, it is able to and be recycle in a bulk state via transesterification. In particular, and its components can be recovered on a molecular level after degradation under specific conditions.
