The first synthetic thermosets used as adhesives were phenol-formaldehyde resins produced at the end of the nineteenth century, historically linked to Baekeland’s process which attained industrial status at the beginning of the twentieth century [4]. Furanic condensates appeared much later as a result of the marketing of 2. They were first used as foundry binders by Quaker Oats in 1960. The use of furanic resins in the aerospace industry began ten years later. Although furanic resins represent a mere 1% of the total thermoset production, the high added-value of these materials amply justifies their use. In fact, furan-based adhesives and binders are fire-, solvent-, and acid — or alkali-resistant. They are known, however, to display two main drawbacks related to their sensitivity to shrinkage and oxidation.
