Abstract

The main objective of this project is to replace petroleum based raw materials with environmental-friendly, agricultural-based starting materials. Plant based starting materials obtained from soybean oil and orange peel were reacted with a Lewis acidic catalyst, tris(pentaflorophenyl)borane or BCF for synthesis of bio-based epoxy resins. Thermal and mechanical properties of thus prepared epoxy resins were analyzed.

Description

The data collection methodology was Instrumentation such as FTIR, TGA, DSC, etc.
