Among the most abundant biomass, lignin is an appealing yet challenging feedstock for manufacturing sustainable materials. The polyphenolic structure and globular architecture of lignin makes it a mechanically weak material for being incorporated in polymer composites. Upon surface modification with functionalized silyl ether groups via thiol-ene chemistry in this work, lignin was cross-linked to create reconstructable thermosets. These thermosets exhibit not only enhanced mechanical properties but also improved degradability. The synthesis of different cross-linkers was used to explore the structure–property relationship. Altering the cross-linking density and the size of cross-linkers has a large impact on the mechanical properties of the final thermosets. Furthermore, the chemical recycling of these thermosets was explored for the conversion to initial motifs under basic environments.
