Abstract In this study, linseed oil was directly polymerized with different oil soluble resoles. p- Ethyl (PEP), p-tertiary butyl (PTB), p-tertiary octyl (PTO), and p- phenyl (PPP) phenols were separately reacted with formaldehyde to give linseed oil soluble resoles. These were then reacted with linseed oil to give transparent rubbery polymers. A model reaction was performed with methyl oleate and PTB phenol resole to clarify the reaction mechanism. Reaction products were characterized with 1H-NMR and IR techniques. Spectral examination of the model reaction showed that polymerization reaction proceeded via ene reaction of the quinone methide formed at the end group of the resole with the allylic positions of the fatty ester. Rubbery polymers were obtained with linseed oil using 10 to 40% of the different resoles. Hard, load bearing and tough materials were obtained at 40% phenolic resin loading. Mechanical properties of the materials were characterized by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and stress,strain tests. The best mechanical and thermal properties were obtained with PEP resole which showed a storage modulus of 350 MPa and a tan , peak at 65°C. Storage moduli of 275, 250, and 30 were obtained for PPP, PTB, and PTO resoles-linseed oil polymers, respectively. At the same phenolic resin loading, elongation at break and swelling ratios in CH2Cl2 increased with the longer alkyl substitution on the resole resins. The highest thermal stability was observed by PEP resole,linseed oil polymer which has a 5% weight loss temperature of 340°C as determined by TGA. The lowest thermal stability was observed for PTB resole-linseed oil polymer at 220°C. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 [source]


New soybean oil-Styrene-Divinylbenzene thermosetting copolymers,IV.

POLYMERS FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, Issue 6 2002
Good damping properties
Abstract New polymeric materials have been prepared by the cationic copolymerization of regular soybean oil, low saturation soybean oil, i.e. LoSatSoy oil, or conjugated LoSatSoy oil with styrene and divinylbenzene, norbornadiene or dicyclopentadiene initiated by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·OEt2) or related modified initiators. The effects of the stoichiometry, the type of soybean oil and the alkene comonomer on the damping behavior of the resulting polymers have been investigated. The damping properties have been quantitatively evaluated by the loss tangent maximum (tan ,)max, ­the temperature range ,T for efficient damping (tan ,,>,0.3), and the integrals of the linear tan , v. temperature curves (tan , area, TA). These bulk materials are composed primarily of soybean oil-styrene-divinylbenzene random copolymers with considerable variability in the backbone compositions. The good damping properties of the soybean oil polymers are presumably determined by the presence of fatty acid ester side groups directly attached to the polymer backbone and the segmental heterogeneities resulting from crosslinking. In general, crosslinking reduces the (tan ,)max and the TA values, but broadens the region of efficient damping (,T). Soybean oil polymeric materials with appropriate compositions and crosslink densities are capable of efficiently damping over a temperature region in excess of 110,°C and provide noise and vibration attenuation over broad temperature and frequency ranges.
