Replacement of styrene with acrylated epoxidized soybean oil in an unsaturated polyester resin from propylene glycol, isophthalic acid, and maleic anhydride

Abstract: Commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins typically contain a high amount of volatile toxic styrene. A non‐volatile acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) was found to be an excellent replacement of styrene in a commercially available UPE resin [designated as Styrene‐(PG‐IPA‐MA)] that is derived from propylene glycol (PG), isophthalic acid (IPA), and maleic anhydride (MA) in terms of the mechanical properties of the resulting kenaf fiber‐reinforced composites. The AESO‐(PG‐IPA‐MA) resins had low viscosity… Show more

“…Pot‐life of ESO–SA mixtures was determined following the procedure reported elsewhere (Wu & Li, ), with some modifications. Oscillatory test was performed with an Anton Paar MCR 301 rheometer (Graz, Austria) with parallel plate geometry with a diameter of 25 mm and a gap of 0.4 mm.…”

“…Consequently, the crosslinking density and interfacial reaction between reinforcement and the matrix can be improved significantly, leading to the enhancement of storage modulus, Tg and water resistance. As a nonvolatile and nonhazardous chemical, AESO is a suitable replacement for styrene in unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin to obtain hybrid polymer networks [90][91][92][93][94]. The UPE with unsaturated sites works as the co-monomer for AESO, and the final products usually exhibit comparable properties to correspondingly styrene-based products.…”

“…The unsaturation of the polymer backbone allows curing of UPs with an unsaturated monomer via radical polymerization reactions. The incorporation of low molecular weight monomers as reactive diluents (RDs) enables fine-tuning of the cured UPR properties, such as the viscosity, processability, thermal and mechanical properties [ 4 ]. It is important to note that all reactants involved in the synthesis contribute to the final set of UPR properties.…”
