Epoxidized Oleic Acid-Based Polymethacrylates as Viscosity Index Improvers

TL;DR: In this article, two routes for the synthesis of epoxidized oleic acid (OLA)-based polymethacrylates were reported, the first one consisted of the synthesis followed by epoxidation of the OLA-based methacrylate, 2.m.loyloxy)ethyl oleate (MAEO), prior to its radical polymerization.

Biopolímeros: avances y perspectivas biopolymers: progress and prospects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analizaran biopolimeros importantes del mercado divididos in tres subgrupos: polimeros basados en recursos renovables (almidon and celulosa), polimmeros biodegradables basados in monomeros bioderivados (aceites vegetales and acido lactico) and biopolimos sintetizados por microorganismos (polihidroxialcanoatos (PHA).
