Effect of Epoxidized Soybean Oil on Curing, Rheological, Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Aromatic and Aliphatic Epoxy Resins

In this study, a biocomposite consisting of an oil-based network polymer and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) have been prepared and its mechanical and thermal properties have been evaluated. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was impregnated in a mat of MFC, followed by the acid-catalyzed curing of ESO to produce the biocomposite. SEM observation shows the good dispersion of the cellulose fiber in the oil-based network polymer. The Young's modulus and tensile strength of the biocomposite were much superior to those of the ESO homopolymer and these values increased as a function of the MFC content in the biocomposite. The storage modulus (E’) of the biocomposite in the rubbery region was also larger than that of the ESO homopolymer.

Recycled Polypropylene

In this study, composites with interesting mechanical and thermal properties were prepared using chemically modified vegetable oil as coupling agent in wood-fibers-reinforced recycled polypropylene. Soybean oil was reacted with maleic anhydride to produce maleated soybean oil (MASO). The mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the composite were evaluated. The usage of MASO as a coupling agent clearly improved the interfacial adhesion between wood fibers and the polypropylene matrix and increased the mechanical and thermal properties evaluated. Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that MASO can act as an alternative source of coupling agent dispensing with the addition of petroleum-based compatibilizers to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of composites reinforced with natural fibers.
