Synthesis of Biodegradable Crosslinkable Poly (Castoroil Fumerate) Polyester Resin Blends on Vinylacetate

Abstract:

Biodegradable hydroxyl terminated – Poly (castor oil fumarate) resin was synthesized by the malination of castor oil ,an excellent naturally occurring renewable resource in the presence of morpholin catalyst and further cross linked with Vinyl acetate (VA) by benzoyl peroxide initiator and dimethyl aniline accelerator to yield biodegradable polyester, containing the ratio of resin blend and VA ,1:1,1:0.75,1:0.5,1:0.25, set fast with tolerable exothermic temperature as a cross linked toughened sheets CFRVA-I,CFRVA-II,CFRVA-III,CFRVA-IV.
