Epoxidized soybean oil cured with tannic acid for fully bio-based epoxy resin

Abstract

Fully bio-based EP thermosets from epoxidized soybean oil and tannic acid were prepared for versatile applications under moderate curing conditions.

Fully Biobased Vitrimers from Glycyrrhizic Acid and Soybean Oil for Self-Healing, Shape Memory, Weldable, and Recyclable Materials

“…On the other hand, epoxidised soybean oil (ESO), as a common plasticizer in the plastics industry, is low-cost, non-toxic and non-volatile substance, which can be crosslinked with amines, 41 carboxylic acid, 42 and anhydrides 43 to form tridimensional networks. 44 Taking advantage of the properties of both GL and ESO, we prepared here the fully biobased vitrimers from ESO and GL with different ESO/GL stoichiometric ratios. Both materials come from food grade sources and are used directly without additional chemical modification.…”

Investigation on cure kinetics of epoxy resin containing carbon nanotubes modified with hyper-branched polyester

“…Therefore, it is very important to improve the toughness and to enhance the impact resistance, fatigue behavior and damage tolerance of the material. [3][4][5] In recent years, great efforts have been made to improve the toughness of epoxy thermosets. Toughness implies energy absorption and is achieved through various deformation mechanisms before failure occurs.…”

Effect of structure regulation of hyper-branched polyester modified carbon nanotubes on toughening performance of epoxy/carbon nanotube nanocomposites

“…Epoxy resin, the most commonly used resin in polymer composites, 1,2 has been widely applied in bridge deck pavement materials, binders, aerospace, and electronic composite materials and in other elds for its excellent mechanical properties such as adhesion, and thermal and chemical corrosion resistance. 3,4 However, the application of epoxy resin-based materials has been greatly limited due to their high crosslinking degree, brittleness, poor impact resistance and easy cracking aer curing.…”
