Quaternarization and polymerization of 2-chloroethyl maleate derivative of epoxidized soybean oil

As a potent antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral material, synthesis of quaternarized epoxidized soybean oil was demonstrated in this work. The first step the is reaction (ESO) with 2-chloroethyl maleic acid (Cl-MA-ESO). last quaternarization condensate triethylamine (Q-MA-ESO). All synthesized monomers were characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR techniques. Homopolymer derivative (Q-MA-ESO) not obtained. However, styrene copolymers obtained characterized. Thermal properties determined TGA DSC Additionally, swelling materials also evaluated. highest ratio observed toluene.
