A new route to acrylate oils: Crosslinking and properties of acrylate triglycerides from high oleic sunflower oil

Abstract

Triglycerides with acrylate functionality were prepared from a new route that involves the singlet oxygen photooxygenation of high oleic sunflower oil and further reduction of the resulting hydroperoxide derivatives to a mixture of secondary allylic alcohols. These unsaturated alcohols can be further reduced to saturated alcohols. These two new hydroxyl‐containing triglycerides were functionalized as acrylate esters and radically crosslinked in presence of different amounts of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate. The crosslinking reactions were followed by FTIR spectroscopy and the thermal properties of the final materials were evaluated. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silica Reinforced Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Polyurethane Nanocomposites From Sustainable Resource

“…Such materials offer exclusive advantages of environment affability, cost effectiveness, ease of availability, biodegradability, and sustainability 1, 2. Several bio‐based precursors have been modified by conventional reactions, e.g., epoxidation, hydroxylation, acrylation, vinylation, urethanation, and others 3–9. Recently, chitosan, starch, cellulose, polycaprolactone, and vegetable seed oil (VSOs) based polymeric resins have been modified by sol–gel and reinforcement techniques to improve their performance as well as broaden their areas of applications 10–17.…”

Novel Insights into Pressure‐Sensitive Adhesives Based on Plant Oils

“…Yields of ≈70% were obtained in this step. After purification, further esterification/acrylation by adding acryloyl chloride and trimethylamine led to the formation of methoxyacrylate (or ethoxyacrylate) fatty acid derivatives in yields of 72% . Noteworthy, purification by column was absolutely necessary, because it is well known that free radical polymerization is very sensitive toward impurities.…”

Developing Vegetable Oil-Based High Performance Thermosetting Resins

“…In other words, SO has to be first turned into intermediates containing free hydroxyl groups. Hydroxyls can be introduced to vegetable oil molecules through many different means, including transesterification of vegetable oil with polyols such as glycerol (9) and pentaerythritol (11), and oxidation on the allylic position of the double bond to yield a hydroperoxide which is subsequently reduced to a hydroxyl group (14). In addition, hydroxyl-containing fatty acids such as ricinoleic acid can be used directly (15).…”
