Cottonseed oil as renewable source for the development of highly functional UV-curable materials
2024-08-05 08:57
Researchers found that the use of cottonseed oil to produce bio-based UV-curable polymer resins offers a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based materials and provides increased flexibility of the resulting materials.
Containing unique combinations of triacylglyce rols, plant oils derived from different sources, have a great potential to be used in various area of applications. Nowadays, among all of oils, soybean oil, which is also being used as food source, is the most explored in research for industrial uses. At the same time, other types of oils have been studied not nearly as much as soybean oil. This study explores the utilization of a cottonseed oil for the development of a bio-based UV-curable polymer resin. Since the fatty acid composition of cottonseed oil is very different compared to soybean oil, the products from this oil can be beneficial in entirely different applications. The combination of cottonseed oil as a raw material and the ultraviolet (UV) process as a curing technology presented in this work, provides an alternative “greener” solution for problems industry is facing.
