Monitoring the structure–reactivity relationship in epoxidized perilla and safflower oil thermosetting resins
Thi-Nguyet Tran, Chiara Di Mauro, Alain Graillot, Alice Mija
Abstract
The reactivity of epoxidized perilla oil and epoxidized safflower oil with two aromatic dicarboxylic acids was studied. The presence of S–S bonding at the β position of the carboxylic group increases the reactivity of the acidic proton toward epoxy ring opening.
