The performance of biodegradable tung oil coatings

Bio‐Based Hybrid Magnetic Latex Particles Containing Encapsulated γ ‐Fe2O3 by Miniemulsion Copolymerization of Soybean Oil‐Acrylated Methyl Ester and Styrene

“…The experimental results portrayed in Table clearly show that the T g of samples with low AFAME content is higher than those with high AFAME content. This effect was expected because polymers based on vegetable oils have normally low glass transitions . However, comparing the samples containing magnetic particles with their pure polymer counterparts, it is possible to see that the T g of all the magnetic samples is higher than the non‐magnetic copolymers.…”

“…Recently, researchers have turned their attention to the use of renewable sources in the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposites due to eco‐friendly politics and new socio‐ecological scenarios that have been established. Also, bio‐based (co)polymers can have low cost in certain cases, present biodegradability, biocompatibility, and distinct properties when compared to commercial polymers …”

The Tung Tree (Vernicia Fordii) Genome Provides A Resource for Understanding Genome Evolution and Oil Improvement

“…Interestingly, tung oil has been attracted world-wide attention in recent years due to production security, environmental concerns, and negative effect of synthetic chemical coatings on human health [8–10]. New technologies have been developed to improve the performance of tung oil-based coatings [3,11,12].…”

Epoxidized and Acrylated Epoxidized Camelina Oils for Ultraviolet‐Curable Wood Coatings

“…Naturally available drying oils, such as tung oil and linseed oil, have been used for wood paints and coatings for a long time. The conjugated fatty acids or α‐linolenic acid can be auto‐oxidized in air to form polymer films as coatings, although the curing takes a relatively long time and may require specific formulation (Derksen et al, ; Martyak et al, ; Oyman et al, ; Yang et al, ). To improve the reactivity and polymerizability of natural oils, the double bonds present in triacylglycerols were modified to tailor their properties for coatings (Black and Rawlins, ; Chen et al, ; Gu et al, ; Li et al, ; Mahendran et al, ; Rosli et al, ).…”
