The growing need to find a sustainable, environmentally-friendly replacement for petroleum-based materials is fuelling the development of bio-based polymers from renewable resources. Amongst the most promising of these are vegetable oil-based polymeric materials. Vegetable oil-based polymers provides a comprehensive review of the research in this important field. After an introduction to classification and polymerization, Vegetable oil-based polymers goes on to review the factors involved in polymer biodegradation. The extraction, purification and application of vegetable oils are then...

Research and development works in the realm of vegetable oil based polymeric materials have attracted increasing worldwide attention in recent years. This book highlights the utilization of vegetable oil, a sustainable resource, in the development of polyurethane resins in a systematically organised manner. In addition, various literatures regarding vegetable oil based polyurethane resins have been reviewed. The experimental part of the study describes our attempts to prepare, characterize and evaluate the properties of polyurethane resins based on Mesua ferrea L. seed oil. The book...
