Renewable natural resources, such as plant oils, fatty acids, cellulose, and lignin, have been
widely pursued as precursors for manufacturing sustainable polymers. There are many …

Polymer colloids are complex materials that have the potential to be used in a vast array of
applications. One of the main reasons for their continued growth in commercial use is the …

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers are widely used in daily products owing to
their flexible structures and decent mechanical properties. Vegetable oils (VOs) are …

Environmental concerns and the need for sustainable industrial practices have sparked the
search for alternative materials that offer a lower impact on the environment. Over the course …

Polymerization of biomass-based monomers leads to a multitude of new materials that can
be applied in drug delivery, biology, nano-composites, adsorption/absorption, wastewater …

Reprocessable and recyclable thermosets were produced from the epoxidized norbornene
seed oils (soybean oil and linseed oil). The epoxides were copolymerized using disulfide …

This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in research and development
dealing with polymers derived from plant oils. It highlights the widening interest in novel …

In this study, different loading ratios of epoxy resin (E) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO)
were introduced into acrylic–silicone polymeric blend with the presence of polyisocyanate …

Norbornylized seed oils, ie, norbornylized linseed oil (NLO), norbornylized soybean oil
(NSO), and norbornylized high oleic soybean oil (NHOSO), were synthesized via the Diels …

Synthesis of waterborne polymers from biomass via emulsion polymerization has gained
more and more interest. Plant oils are one of the most abundant renewable resources …
