Soybean oil epoxidized acrylated

Scheme 2, The modification of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) shown using cyclohexane dicarboxylic anhydrade or maleic anhydride. These AESOs were cured with styrene or other comonomers (20).

In the same fashion, methacrylate groups have also been incorporated in soybean oils to generate similar polymer architectures. Acrylated epoxidized soybean oil and maleinated acrylated epoxidized soybean oil were reacted with methacrylated lauric acid as a method of reducing styrene input [41]. This increased both the visocosity and the glass transition temperature when compared with the styrene analogue as well as having the benefits of improving the environmental properties of the polymer even further. Acrylated, epoxidized soybean oil was copolymerized with methyl methacrylate in a polymerization initiated by benzoyl peroxide to produce a clear bioplastic [42]. 

Also similar to styrene and methyacrylates is the use of divinylbenzene as a comonomer. Acrylated, epoxidized soybean oil was polymerized with divinylbenzene or modified with phthalic anhydride before polymerization to give materials with increased glass transition temperatures [43]. Modification of the soybean oil with cinnamate esters and subsequent...
