Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of diglycidyl ethers of isosorbide (DGEI) with different epoxy equivalent weight (EEW) with isophorone diamine (IPD) hardener have been performed. Interestingly, it was found that one specific epoxy formulation exhibits high reactivity with amine hardener inducing high glass transition and indentation stiffness. Associated with flax fibres, this new bio-based resin has made it possible to develop performing and promising unidirectional biocomposites with characteristics comparable to commercial petroleum-based epoxy resins.
