A novel approach of vinyl ester resin (VER) production was derived from two renewable resources, lignin and glycerin. GVER production from lignin and glycerin consists of four steps: recovery of phenol from lignin, conversion of phenol into bisphenol A, synthesis of glycidyl methacrylate from glycerin, and VER synthesis from BPA and GMA. The synthetic procedure for the environmentally greener vinyl ester resin monomer (VER) will be discussed in more detail.
