Comparative Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Sustainable Epoxy Polymer Networks Derived from Linseed Oil
Considering its great industrial potential, epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) was crosslinked with different agents, both natural and synthetic: citric acid (CA, in the presence of water—W, or tetrahydrofuran—THF, as activator molecules) and Jeffamine D230, respectively, resulting bio-based polymeric mat...

description | Considering its great industrial potential, epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) was crosslinked with different agents, both natural and synthetic: citric acid (CA, in the presence of water—W, or tetrahydrofuran—THF, as activator molecules) and Jeffamine D230, respectively, resulting bio-based polymeric matrices, studied further, comparatively, in terms of their properties, through different methods. Thermal curing parameters were established by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and DSC were used to identify the reactivity of each ELO-based formulation, discussing the influence of the employed curing systems under the conversion of the epoxy rings. Then, the obtained bio-based materials were characterized by different methods, establishing the structure–properties relation. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed higher thermal stability for the ELO_CA material when THF was used as an activator. Moreover, a higher glass transition temperature (Tg) with ~12 °C was registered for this material when compared with the one that resulted through the crosslinking of ELO with D230 conventional amine. Other important features, such as crosslink density, storage modulus, mechanical features, and water affinity, were discussed. Under the loop of a comprehensive approach, a set of remarkable properties were obtained for ELO_CA_THF material when compared with the one resulting from the crosslinking of ELO with the synthetic Jeffamine. |
