Swelling Studies of Cross Linked Biopolyesters of Polycastor Oil Fumarate

Abstract :

Biodegradable cross linked biopolyesters of castor oil were prepared using addition curable fumarate esters of castor oil with crosslinking agents vinyl acetate (VA),vinyl pyrrolidone (VP), acrylonitrile (AN), methylacrylate (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) respectively. The swelling properties of these cross linked biopolyesters were studied under standard conditions.
