Bio-based thermosetting resins were synthesized from a ternary composition: humins; epoxidized linseed oil (ELO); and an industrial hardener, Capcure3-800 (CAP). Humins are in a focused attention in the last years, as biorefinery by-product, therefore its valorization through materials design is very important. Here we present a structural study of terpolymerization of humins/ ELO/CAP. The reactivity of these systems was highlighted by in situ FT-IR and 1H and 13C NMR. The integration of humins in thermosetting resins gives alternatives to new feedstocks for future bio-based materials.
