In order to meet growing environmental concerns, there has been a considerable interest in generating bio-based polymers with a view to replacing the traditional oil-based chemistries. This thesis focuses on polyester thermosetting resins derived from renewable feedstock. Product optimization is however currently impeded by the limited knowledge about the mechanical properties of these new polymers. Indeed, the material foamability coupled to fast polymerization during processing prevents the fabrication and characterization of macroscopic polymer samples under technologically relevant conditions.To overcome this limitation, we prepare samples with micrometric sizes (typically in the 10 textmu m range) and controlled geometries from a model...
