Compared with the rapid progress on bio‐based thermoplastics, research on bio‐based thermosetting resins should have attracted much more attention, considering that they will have a bright future. In this paper, the current research progress on bio‐based thermosetting resins is reviewed. We pay special attention to the synthesis and investigation of properties of epoxies and unsaturated polyesters derived from renewable plant oil, cardanol, rosin acid, lignin, glycerol, gallic acid, furan, isosorbide, itaconic acid, etc. This mini review gives an overall perspective for bio‐based thermosets.© 2015 Society of Chemical Industry
