Conventional thermosetting materials lack of reprocessability, acid-degradability, and fire-safety, which limit the further popularization and application of materials. In this study, a hexasubstituted cyclotriphosphazene (HVP) was synthesized from abundant renewable vanillin, and then combined with two bio-based amines (castor oil polyamine and furan-derived diamine) to establish polyimine networks through a condensation reaction between amino groups and aldehyde groups. Five bio-based polyimine thermoset networks (FA-0, FA-25, FA-50, FA-75, and FA-100) were prepared with an ammonia-formaldehyde ratio of 1:1, and varying the ratio of the two biobased amines allowed for regulating the final mechanical properties (from tough plastic-like to hard plasticlike) and flame resistance of the materials. Among the five experimental samples, FA-100 exhibited the best physical properties stress and Tg of 28.47 MPa and 63.8 ?C, respectively. FA-100 networks also showed the best flame retardant properties (LOI, 28.8 vol/%). Furthermore, due to the dynamic imine bonds in the polymer network, the material could be recycled under hot pressing conditions (120 ?C and 15 MPa). Meanwhile, the monomer HVP could be recovered under mild acidic circumstances. These thermosetting polyimine networks provide a new avenue for the development of multifunctional bio-based polymer materials for practical applications.
