Emergence of Polymeric Material Utilising Sustainable Radiation Curable Palm Oil-Based Products for Advanced Technology Applications

Abstract

In countries that are rich with oil palm, the use of palm oil to produce bio-based acrylates and polyol can be the most eminent raw materials used for developing new and advanced natural polymeric materials involving radiation technique, like coating resins, nanoparticles, scaffold, nanocomposites, and lithography for different branches of the industry. The presence of hydrocarbon chains, carbon double bonds, and ester bonds in palm oil allows it to open up the possibility of fine-tuning its unique structures in the development of novel materials. Cross-linking, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT), polymerization, grafting, and degradation are among the radiation mechanisms triggered by gamma, electron beam, ultraviolet, or laser irradiation sources. These radiation techniques are widely used in the development of polymeric materials because they are considered as the most versatile, inexpensive, easy, and effective methods. Therefore, this review summarized and emphasized on several recent studies that have reported on emerging radiation processing technologies for the production of radiation curable palm oil-based polymeric materials with a promising future in certain industries and biomedical applications. This review also discusses the rich potential of biopolymeric materials for advanced technology applications.

Study of the impact of epoxidized plant oil phospholipids and hydroxyl radicals on crosslinked epoxy resins

“…9 Vegetable oil is a potentially renewable feedstock for a range of industrial or consumer goods, as well as a source of bioresin, and it adheres to the seventh of the 12 principles of green chemistry, which promotes chemistry's sustainability. 10,11 More recently, vegetable oils have come to prominence as an alternative source for products, such as polymers, that have primarily been derived from petroleum, 12 such as those based on soybean, 1,13,14 linseed, 15,16 castor, 17 canola, 18 palm, 19 safflower 20 and corn oil. 21 The addition of some functional vegetable oils, such as epoxidized corn oil (ECO), can potentially improve the extrinsic and intrinsic properties of ER, while also increasing the biobased content of the final composites.…”

Recent advances in synthesis of polymers based on palm oil and its fatty acids

“…124 The acrylic groups in POBUA provide C]C linkages to be crosslinked by UV irradiation, which acts as a barrier coating to avoid attacks from corrosive agents on the surface of the mild steel surface. More studies on radiation-curable palm oil-based products have been reviewed by Tajau et al 125 Mu and coworkers reported on the preparation of palm oilbased epoxy resins with recyclability, high mechanical strength, and recongurable shape-memory properties. 126 Initially, palm oil was converted to palm oil-based methyl methacrylate (PMA) monomer by the amidation and esterication method.…”

New Technology for Production of Dicyclopentadiene and Methyl-Dicyklopentadiene

“…Hydrocarbon resins are formed by oligomerization (thermal, catalytic) of dicyclopentadiene and other components contained in the raw material, such as co-dimers CPD-isoprene, CPD-piperylene or isomers of methyl-dicyclopentadiene or alternative polymeric-based triglycerides and monomers, such as palm oil-based polymeric materials [5]. Sometimes the resins are hydrogenated to improve color (water-free resin) and thermal stability.…”
