“…With the aim of obtaining high environmentally friendly PLA formulations, the use of vegetable-oil (VO)-derived additives is increasing as vegetable oils can be chemically modified to tailor some particular functionalities which can react with PLA and other biopolyesters. Currently, epoxidized vegetable oils (EVOs) are widely used in the new generation of environmentally friendly plasticized PVC formulations [32,33] and thermosetting resins [34]. Their use in the packaging industry is attracting due to low migration rates towards the food [35].…”

Abstract. This research work aims at the compatibilization of poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), PLA/PBAT binary blends by using cottonseed oil derivatives, i.e. epoxidized (ECSO) and maleinized (MCSO) cottonseed oil. The potential of these vegetable oil-based compatibilizers are compared versus the effects of a conventional styreneacrylic oligomer. The base PLA/PBAT binary blend composition was 80 wt% PLA/20 wt% PBAT and the amount of compatibilizer was set to 1 and 7.5 wt%. The effects of the different compatibilizers were evaluated on PLA/PBAT films in terms of mechanical and thermal properties as well as blend's morphology by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Complementary, biodisintegration tests in controlled compost soil and surface properties were evaluated to assess the effects of the compatibilizers. Addition of 1 wt% ECSO and MCSO led to a remarkable increase in the elongation at break up to values over 100% with regard to neat PLA. Despite this, maximum elongation at break was obtained for the compatibilized PLA/PBAT blend with 7.5 wt% MCSO, reaching values of about 321.2% respect neat PLA keeping mechanical resistant properties, such as Young's modulus and tensile strength, at high levels. Therefore, vegetable oil-derived compatibilizers stand out as environmentally friendly additives for PLA/PBAT binary blends with improved properties.

The use of bio-based raw material is regarded as a sustainable way to address environmental concerns. A naturally occurring monomer, 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (EFA), was retrieved from outer birch bark. A series of model experiments revealing relative reaction rates for epoxide, carboxylic acid, and alcohol functional groups was investigated. Real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance were used to follow the different model experiments. The results on the model systems were then compared to the thermoset formation of thermally cured EFA. Finally, the adhesive properties of crosslinked EFA on different substrates were evaluated.

Abstract.Synthesis of polymeric materials from renewable resources has attracted the attention of researcher worldwide as they are not only reducing the dependency on petrochemicals, a finite resource but also friendly to the environment. Synthesis of valuable polymers from non-conventional and non-edible vegetable oils solves the problem of waste disposal as well as bringing down the cost of end products. Melia azedarach seed oil (MASO), a non-traditional, non-edible and abundantly available resource is utilized for the synthesis of poly (ester-amide) (MAPEAA) by the aminolysis with diethanolamine followed by step-growth polymerization with adipic acid. The MAPEAA polymeric resin was characterized by physic-chemical analyses as per standard reported laboratory methods. The structural elucidation of the resin was carried out by spectral analyses. Physicomechanical and chemical/corrosion resistance performances of the resin were also investigated. Keywords:Melia azedarach seed oil, renewable resource, vegetable oil, Poly (ester-amide) IntroductionThere have been potential demands worldwide for replacing petroleum based raw materials with the renewable ones [1][2][3]. This is quite significant from the societal and environmental points of view. Among different renewable resources vegetable oils obtained from seeds of various plants are in the spotlight of the chemical industries as they are the abundantly available in nature and also show low eco-toxicity as well as low-toxicity towards humans [4,5]. Common traditional seed oils such as linseed, sunflower, castor, soybean, coconut are being largely used in the synthesis of polymers like alkyds, epoxies, polyurethanes, interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN)s, poly (ester-amide)s and many others [4,[6][7][8][9][10]. These polymers are extensively used as coatings, adhesives, insulators and biomedical structures. However, among afore mentioned traditional oils some of them possess medicinal values and are edible too [11,12]. Therefore, it is important to explore the gift of the nature and utilize the non-edible and non-conventional seed oils as starting raw materials for the development polymers, which ultimately reduce the demands of conventional vegetable oils. Melia azedarach belongs to the family meliaceae largely cultivated in rural areas due to its valuable wood [13,14]. The seeds of plants contain about 40-wt % triglyceride oil with sufficiently high iodine value, which provide the film formation ability to the synthesized polymers [13,14]. Meagre utilization of Melia azedarach seed oil, especially in the polymer syntheses encourages us to utilize this triglyceride oil in the synthesis of poly(ester-amide) using adipic acid as a dibasic acid [14][15][16].Poly (ester-amide)s of vegetable oil origin are amide modified alkyds and have hybrid properties of both functionalities pendent amide and repeating ester; consequently show better performances than normal alkyds in terms of hardness, water vapor resistance and corrosion resistance [9,12]. In present work eff...
