This study valorises the benign epoxidation of (R)-(+)-limonene to generate novel bio-resourced limonene dioxide monomers. Without additional steps of separation or functionalization, the racemic limonene dioxide was cured with glutaric and dimethylglutaric anhydrides leading to thermosets with a high Tg (∼98 °C) and good mechanical properties (σ = 27 MPa; ε = 3.5%; E = 1150 MPa; E′ = 1650 MPa, Shore D = 78).
