Tailoring Acrylated Soybean Oil-Containing Terpolymers through Emulsion Polymerization

Ring-Opening Polymerization of Epoxidized Soybean Oil

Ring-opening polymerization of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) catalyzed by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3 OEt2) in methylene chloride was conducted in an effort to develop useful biodegradable polymers. The resulting polymerized ESO (PESO) were characterized using infrared (IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), H NMR, C NMR, solid st...

Acrylated Lesqverella Oil in Ultraviolet Cured Coatings

Environmental concerns focusing on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be ameliorated via the development and use of very lowto no-VOC coatings. Ultraviolet (W) radiation curing is an effective means of incorporating low molecular weight reactive species into high performance, onvolatile polymers. The advantages of W curing include rapid polymer network formation on heat sensi...

Catalytic Ethylene Polymerization in Aqueous Emulsion : Catalyst Tailoring and Synthesis of Very Small Latex Particles

INTRODUCTION Emulsion polymerization yielding polymer latexes, is carried out on a vast scale. The use of water as a dispersion medium offers a unique combination of features, such as effective heat transfer, effective stabilization of polymer particles by surfactants, and environmental friendliness. By contrast to polymerization in solution or in the bulk, in emulsion polymerization a large po...

Advanced Core-Shell Composite Nanoparticles Through Pickering Emulsion Polymerization

Short-Term Use of Parenteral Nutrition With a Lipid Emulsion Containing a Mixture of Soybean Oil, Olive Oil, Medium-Chain Triglycerides, and Fish Oil

BACKGROUND For premature neonates needing parenteral nutrition (PN), a balanced lipid supply is crucial. The authors hypothesized that a lipid emulsion containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and soybean, olive, and fish oils would be as safe and well tolerated as a soybean emulsion while beneficially influencing the fatty acid profile. METHODS Double-blind, controlled study in 53 neonat...
