Sustainable Industrial Resins from Vegetable Oil
‘The growing interest reflects the demand for alternative, renewable sources of thermosetting resins that will begin to address the depletion of finite resources and reduce emissions.’ A key goal of the project was to develop a thermosetting resin system derived from vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, which is widely grown in the UK.

Novel Plant Oil-based Thermosets and Polymer Composites
Both soybean oil and eugenol used in this study are bio-based. The original intent of this project was to develop a vegetable oil-based polymer . this resin system contains very high biorenewable content – about 70% of carbon atoms in the thermosets are originated from biorenewable resources. 79 for pultrusion process. In this resin system.

Soybean oil-based thermoset reinforced with rosin-based
Soybean oil, which contains triglyceride structure, is one of the vegetable oils that have the largest production volume and the lowest price used in the industrial production . Due to its low reactivity, soybean oil generally requires further modifications with ester and double bond reactions.

A Review of Vegetable Oil-Based Polymers: Synthesis and
The reviewed work addressed the shift in focus from conventional polymers to bio-based and renewable polymers. The environmental attributes of the renewable polymers make them preferred choice of matrix. The properties of the matrices from renewable origin could compete in high end applications. The composition of the fatty acids in plant seed oil was discussed and the determination of the

Novel bio-based resins from blends of functionalised palm
AbstractUnsaturated polyester resin material containing epoxidised palm oil is a new alternative for bio-based thermoset material. Unsaturated polyester resin blends with epoxidised palm oil were synthesised using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Unsaturated polyester resin blends with various content of epoxidised palm oil (10, 20 and 30 wt-%) were studied.

Development of new polymer applications using biorefinery
Non Technical Summary The biorefinery is an emerging technology in which biomass, instead of crude oil, serves as the feedstock for the productions of biofuels and biochemicals. The high demand for fuel ethanol has driven academia and industry to investigate ethanol production using the most abundant nonfood plant resource - lignocellulosic biomass.

KS Polymer Research Center: Useful Chemicals From Corn Oil
Epoxy resins are one of the most important thermosetting polymers used in composites, adhesives, coatings and as binders in cast resin applications. Most of the petrochemical epoxy resins are based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin. In this project we will use vegetable oils or fatty acids from corn oil for preparing aliphatic epoxy resins.
