Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Shellac, a bio-based resin, is widely employed as an adhesive for the fixation of small components in watches, but its performance is severely impacted by batch-to-batch property variations, which are typical for natural products. To solve this problem, a synthetic alternative will be developed.
