The development of viable alternatives to petroleum-based polymeric materials is a
compelling contemporary challenge attributable to environmental concerns and the effects …

The term biolubricant applies to all lubricants that are easily biodegradable and non-toxic to
humans and the environment. The uses of biolubricant are still very limited when compared …

In response to the increasing environmental pollution concern and depleting petroleum
reserves, bio-based lubricants have received a great deal of interest as a substitute for …

Epoxidised soybean oil (ESO) was cross-linked with an aqueous citric acid (CA) solution
without the addition of any other catalyst or solvent. Completely bio-based polymer networks …

Fatty epoxides are produced from the corresponding alkenes by oxidation in the presence of
peracids or other oxidants. The classic method is the Prilezhaev epoxidation in which …

Conventional petroleum-based lubricant resources are depleting rapidly, and their utilization
severely threatens the environment. Environmental sustainability emphasizes the need for …

The drive toward sustainable practices and principles across the supply chain has led to an
upsurge in renewable materials. Epoxy resins are used in a wide range of applications in …

Oleochemistry is a growing field from an industrial point of view, and it is fundamental to
more sustainable chemical production that is less dependent on fossil sources. From this …

Epoxidation of soybean oil (ESBO) was carried out using Amberlyst 15 catalyst followed by
ring opening using bio-based oleic acid to yield polyester polyol (ESOAP). Polyurethane …

Flexible bio‐based polymeric materials were produced by combining epoxidized soybean
oil (ESO), aqueous citric acid solutions, and varying amounts of epoxidized oleic acid (EOA) …
