TL;DR: In this article, a new generation of highly functional polyester-like polymers for using in composite applications was investigated, which were synthesized by mixing methacrylated epoxidized sucrose soyate (MAESS) with styrene as a reactive diluent and using a mixture of Luperox P and Trigonox 239A as a high temperature and room temperature initiators, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, high functional sucrose soyate polyol (SSP) resins were synthesized by ring-opening epoxidized SSP with methanol or ethanol and were subsequently crosslinked with a melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin in the presence of an acid catalyst or blocked acid catalyst.

TL;DR: In this paper, highly functional epoxy resins are synthesized from the epoxidation of vegetable or seed oil esters of polyols having 4 or more hydroxyl groups/molecule.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and characterized the performance of a reactor and refining units that would produce 10 kg of epoxidized sucrose soyate (ESS) with a process timeframe and resin quality similar to the 300 g laboratory scale in order to meet the increasing demand for multiple applications in coatings and composite materials.

TL;DR: An automated, high-throughput adhesion workflow that enables pseudobarnacle adhesion and coating/substrate adhesion to be measured on coating patches arranged in an array format on 4x8 in.
