Abstract:In this work, the influence of aromatic rings on the local free volume of cured mixtures of acrylate epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and vanillin dimethacrylate (VDM) was investigated. Cross-linking took place under the influence of UV light in the presence or absence of a photoinitiator. The local free volume and its homogeneity were characterized using the Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) technique. It was found that increasing the content of VDM, which contains aromatic rings, caused a decre… Show more
