Synthesis and comparative study of Novel cross linked Bio polyesters from corn oil
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Novel cross linked bio polyesters were synthesised from naturally available corn oil. Epoxidation of corn oil has been carried out by per acetic acid method. Further an acrylated epoxy resin (AECO) was synthesised from the epoxidized corn oil (ECO). The (AECO) was characterised by spectral and physicochemical properties (Specific gravity, viscosity, Saponification value, iodine value).The Novel cross linked bio polyesters were prepared by using AECO with Diethylene glycol trimethacrylate . The mechanical properties of cross linked biopolyester were improved by adding filler like wood flour. The environmental degradation was assessed by soil burial test and sem analysis. The outcome of the studies revealed that the newly prepared cross linked bio polyesters are potential biodegradable material for various consumer applications like package materials, sporting goods and floor mats.
