Cross-Linkable Epoxidized Maleinated Castor Oil: A Renewable Resin Alternative to Unsaturated Polyesters

Table 1

The comparative storage modulus values of different oil based polymer copolymers/networks.

Materials	Storage modulus (GPa)	Dynamic (°C)
X-EMACO	1.08 (at 25°C)	72
EACO-AA [16]	0.70 (at 25°C)	61
MESO-St [17]	0.1 (at 25°C)	55
AESO-St [18]	0.9 (at 30°C)	60

EACO-AA: epoxidized acrylated castor oil copolymerized with 15 wt.% acrylic acid.
MESO: monomethyl maleic esters of epoxidized soybean oil copolymerized with 60 wt.% styrene.
AESO-St: acrylated epoxidized soybean oil copolymerized with 50 wt.% styrene.
