Synthesis of plant oil-based amide copolymethacrylates and their use as viscosity index improvers

TL;DR: In this paper, polymeric materials derived from fatty acids (FA)s were synthesized through free radical polymerization and evaluated as viscosity index improvers (VII) in an organic triglyceride lube oil (OTO).
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction to Synthesis and Characterization of Thermosetting Furan-Based Epoxy Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, an important error in that work regarding the preparation of the benzyl-based analogue systems (BOB) was discovered, which resulted in epoxy-rich systems being tested that have lower Tg than those prepared at stoichiometry.
DissertationDOI

Synthesis of Stimuli-responsive Hydrogels from Glycerol

TL;DR: The step-growth polymerization of glycerol to relatively high molecular weight polyglycerol was investigated and several soluble catalysts and their reaction mechanisms were compared and their effect on polymer molecular weight and microstructure was measured.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allylic oxidation of methyl 10‐undecenoate and nucleophilic additions to methyl 9‐oxo‐10‐undecenoate

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrophilic double bond in enone 4 reacts in good to excellent yield with a variety of nucleophiles, including methyl malonate, acetylacetone, and methyl acetoacetate Michael-adducts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acyclic triene metathesis (ATMET) miniemulsion polymerization of linseed oil produces polymer nanoparticles with comparable molecular weight to that of bulk reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclic triene metathesis (ATMET) polymerization of linseed oil was performed in bulk and mini-emulsion to evaluate the activity of different types of ruthenium-based catalysts (Grubbs 1st and 2nd generations, Hoveyda-grubbs 2nd generation and Umicore M2) in both systems.
