Extraction of castor oil is important in determination of the quality of castor oil extracted. The quality of castor oil being extracted has to meet the ASTM standard that has been produced. The way of extraction can be either mechanical extraction or chemical extraction that is practically used in the industry which give the highest yield of oil extracted. Castor oil is mainly composed of ricinoleic acid in high concentration. It is a unique vegetable oil that contains high content of fatty hydroxyacid.

In the present study, epoxy samples containing nanoporous graphene (NPG) were synthesized and analyzed in terms of mechanical, morphological, thermal, adhesion, and anticorrosion properties. To this end, the employed curing agents (hardeners) were synthesized and NPG content was varied from 0 to 1 wt %. By using a hardener with aliphatic side chains, the toughness of the nanocomposite was improved without a decrease in the modulus. Adding 1 wt % NPG increased the modulus of the nanocomposite by about 30%. The dynamic mechanical results showed an increment in the glass transition of the samples containing 1 wt % NPG. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images were used to observe the fracture surface of the nanocomposites. The thermogravimetric analysis analysis also confirmed that using synthetic hardener and NPG as the nanofiller enhanced the thermal resistance of the samples. The images of the protected metal panel surfaces and their coatings were used to study adhesion and anticorrosion properties. These results indicated that the hardener synthesized in this work along with NPG improved the mechanical, thermal, adhesion, and anticorrosion properties of the epoxy nanocomposites effectively. The specific characteristic of the synthetic hardener was its chemical structure including both aliphatic and cyclic polyamines as the side groups. V C 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
