Preparation and characterisation of water-reducible alkyds with fumarized rubber seed oil

Catalytically Active Vegetable‐Oil‐Based Thermoplastic Hyperbranched Polyurethane/Silver Nanocomposites

“…In this context, biodegradability, versatility in structure and properties, adequate availability, and overall cost effectiveness are the luring facets of vegetable oil as a feedstock for various polymerization protocols. [6,7] Thus, in the present investigation a monoglyceride of a vegetable oil, namely sunflower oil, has been used as a part of the chain extender to prepare this class of industrially important polymer.…”

Thermal properties and combustion behaviors of flame retarded epoxy acrylate with a chitosan based flame retardant containing phosphorus and acrylate structure

“…Functional material prepared from natural resources is an effective way to circumvent the confrontations of pollution, waste disposal and depletion of conventional petroleum-based resources [1][2][3][4][5]. Much attention has been paid to prepare such materials today [6].…”

Bio‐based hyperbranched polyurethane/clay nanocomposites: adhesive, mechanical, and thermal properties

“…Hence forth, scientists have been kindled to use renewable natural resource‐based raw materials for a myriad of utilities. Vegetable oils have a number of advantages 10,11 like physical and chemical stability, aptitude to facile chemical modification, reduced toxicity, reduced risk of handling and transport, possibility of recycling, renewable, and biodegradability, and at the same time, available in large quantities in relatively lower and stable prices. In addition they are susceptible to agricultural diversification, environmentally benign in nature, and more importantly, they have been reducing the “green house gas”.…”
