Fatty epoxides are produced from the corresponding alkenes by oxidation in the presence of
peracids or other oxidants. The classic method is the Prilezhaev epoxidation in which …

Vegetable oils and their derivatives have shown great potential as modifiers or rejuvenators
for use in asphalt materials with promising performance. Due to the environmental and …

Hard asphalt binder is regarded as a favorable option in comparison to polymer-modified
asphalt for rutting due to the benefits of cost-effectiveness and extreme stiffness behavior …

This paper examined the modification effects of three soybean oil-based derivatives for use
in asphalt binder modification. Functional group grafting, free radical polymerization of …

Compared to carbon fibers made from conventional petroleum-based precursors, lignin-
based carbon fibers can lower the production cost while enabling cleaner manufacturing …

Poly (acrylated epoxidized soybean oil)(PAESO) has been grafted on the surface of
multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by reversible addition–fragmentation chain …

The increasing demand for bioderived plastics and rubbers and the large supply of glycerol
makes it an excellent starting chemical for the production of biopolymers. Little success in …

In this article, we extend the understanding of gelation suppression in reversible addition–
fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization in systems with long primary chains and …

This work introduces a novel 1-pot, 0-waste, 0-VOC methodology for synthesizing polymeric
surfactants using acrylated epoxidized soybean oil and acrylated glycerol as primary …

Here we report dynamic and thermodynamic aspects of the self-assembly in a series of
branched-chain soybean-oil-derived styrenic block copolymers produced via reversible …
