ABSTRACT = {Vegetable oils are promising renewable resources for polymers, due to their low cost, ready availability, 
and versatile applications. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to vegetable oil-based polymeric 
materials due to both economic and environmental concerns. This review focuses on the latest developments 
in vegetable oil-based thermosets prepared by a variety of polymerization methods. The thermosets obtained 
exhibit a wide range of thermomechanical properties from soft and fl exible rubbers to rigid and hard plastics. 
Some of the thermosets have properties comparable to petroleum-based analogs and show promise as 
replacements, providing possible solutions to environmental and energy concerns.},
