HEMPOXIES: A >99% HEMP-DERIVED MULTISCALE VITRIMER COMPOSITE Programmable Materials Platform | Circular by Design | Monoculture Feedstock
THE BREAKTHROUGH
Landry Industries presents the first complete materials platform in which every structural component—matrix, cross-linker, catalyst, solvent, and reinforcement—is derivable from a single feedstock: Cannabis sativa L. This is not a bioplastic incremental improvement. It is a fully reprocessable, high-performance thermoset replacement system with tunable properties exceeding aluminum, steel, ABS, concrete, standard epoxy, titanium, and E-glass/epoxy on specific mechanical metrics.
CORE INNOVATION
- Matrix: Epoxidized hempseed oil (EHO) + Maleinized hempseed oil (MHO) in dynamic β-hydroxy ester vitrimer chemistry (\text{Zn(acac)}_2-catalyzed)
- Reinforcement Hierarchy: Hemp-derived graphene oxide (HGO), reduced graphene oxide (HrGO), carbon nanosheets, cellulose nanocrystals, biochar, and short hemp carbon fiber—spanning molecular to macro length scales
- Dispersion Medium: Anhydrous ethanol from fermented hemp stalk cellulose
- Bio-Based Carbon Content: >99% by ASTM D6866/ISO 16620 radiocarbon analysis
THE PLATFORM ADVANTAGE
Unlike conventional thermosets that are landfilled at end-of-life, Hempoxies undergoes thermally activated transesterification exchange (180–200 °C), enabling:
- Thermal reprocessing and remolding (10–30 min cycle)
- Self-healing of micro-cracks
- Welding of cured components
- Infinite circularity without petrochemical input

COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL
Hempoxies replaces petroleum thermosets across all sub-100 °C service applications: wind turbine blades, automotive panels, construction forms, consumer goods, protective equipment, and aerospace interiors. With hemp now legal worldwide for commercial cultivation, this platform unlocks a decentralized, farm-level materials economy.
