A renewable, green and scalable polyacrylic polyol (PAMO) was synthesized from olive oil (OO) and applied as a polyol in the preparation of transparent polyurethane coating. To prepare PAMO, the olive oil was first methanolized using methanol and methyl oleate (MO) was obtained. Then MO epoxidized by formic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The epoxidized methyl oleate (EMO) was ring-opened using acrylic acid (AA) with excellent yield. The PAMO was prepared by solution free radical polymerization. The chemical structures of synthesized monomer and polymer were verified by FT-IR, 1HNMR, and gel permination chromatography (GPC). The different thermoset aliphatic transparent polyurethane coating was obtained using the reaction between synthesized polyol and Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), Desmodur N3390 and Desmodur Z4470. The best results were obtained with Desmodur Z4470 as curing agent. The new polyol architecture has appeared as a new class of polyacrylic polyol and transparent polyurethane coating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
