Bio-based glycerol and aldehydes have been valorised by acetalization reaction over novel macroporous sulfonated polystyrene-type resins (MR-SP20-SO3H and MR-SP50-SO3H). The influence of reactants molar ratio, catalyst amount, temperature, and reaction time on the activity and selectivity to acetals have been investigated. Results showed that MR-SP20-SO3H and MR-SP50-SO3H confirm a high performance
