Abstract:Bio‐based elastomers and composites are of great interest in numerous applications for environmental sustainability. In this study, bio‐based elastomers with low hysteresis are developed from epoxied soybean oil (ESO) with tetradecanedioic acid (TA) as the curing agent. The as‐prepared ESO/TA thermosets are in the rubbery state at room temperature, with a glass transition temperature (Tg) falling between −19°C and −27°C depending on the amount of TA. With optimized amounts of TA, the elongation at break of ESO… Show more
