Bio-epoxy resins based on five epoxidized vegetable oils were formulated with an aromatic disulfide crosslinker with diacid functionality, 2,2′ -dithiodibenzoic acid (DTBA), to obtain recyclable epoxy thermosets. Flax fibres (FF) and PLA woven were used as bio-based reinforcements for these matrices
