Guayule resin in amine—epoxy strippable coatings

Synthesis and modification of silica‐based epoxy nanocomposites with different sol–gel process enhanced thermal and mechanical properties

“…In past decades, a wonderful amount has been conducted in the research of submicron inorganic particles, most important to the possibility of preparing composites with nanofillers, that is, nanocomposites 17 . Epoxy resin (ER) reinforced with nanoparticles 18,19 represents one of the most actively considered nano‐dielectric systems examples of matrix phases are common metals, polymer, and ceramic, while the reinforcement phases are examples of fillers 20–23 . In these composites, polymer‐matrix composites are used in large varieties and massive quantities due to their easy processing, anti‐corrosion activities, low weight, and cost 24,25 .…”

[20][21][22][23] In these composites, polymer-matrix composites are used in large varieties and massive quantities due to their easy processing, anti-corrosion activities, low weight, and cost. 24,25 They are very popular among the various industrial applications such as electrical, semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace.…”

Weathering studies of epoxidized and hydroxy‐fluoroester pendent guayule rubber in powder coatings

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] During shrub processing, five major components are produced: high molecular weight guayule rubber, low molecular weight guayule rubber, organic soluble resins, water-soluble extracts, and bagasse. [11][12][13][14] In an effort to establish a domestic guayule industry and optimize potential revenue, it is important to make use of all its coproduct fractions.…”

“…Guayule, Parthenium argentatum gray, a shrub that grows in semiarid regions of the southwest United States and northern Mexico, in guayule rubber derivative form has been used to synthesize numerous coatings. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] During shrub processing, five major components are produced: high molecular weight guayule rubber, low molecular weight guayule rubber, organic soluble resins, water-soluble extracts, and bagasse. [11][12][13][14] In an effort to establish a domestic guayule industry and optimize potential revenue, it is important to make use of all its coproduct fractions.…”

Increased Soil Sorption of Pendimethalin due to Deposition of Guayule‐Derived Detritus

“…In addition to rubber, guayule has very high resin content, up to 9% based on total dry matter (Dissanayake et al, 2004;Estilai, 1991;Banigan et al, 1982). Guayule resin has also been found to have economic potential as a termaticide (Nakayama, 2005;Nakayama et al, 2001;Bultman et al, 1998), wood preservative (Nakayama et al, 2001;Bultman et al, 1991;Chow et al, 2008), and an additive to epoxies and coatings (Th ames and Kaleem, 1991;Th ames and Wagner, 1991;Belmares et al, 1980). Banigan et al (1982) found that 15% of guayule biomass was resin, rubber, and wax.…”
