TL;DR: In this paper, a series of catalysts containing 10 −40 wt % of 12-tungstosilicic acid anchored to zeolite Hβ were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical techniques.
Abstract: A series of catalysts containing 10–40 wt % of 12-tungstosilicic acid anchored to zeolite Hβ were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical techniques. Their catalytic activity was evaluated for esterification of free fatty acid and oleic acid as well as transesterification of soybean oil with methanol. The effects of reaction variables such as catalyst loading, methanol to acid ratio, reaction time, and temperature on the conversion were studied. The kinetic study was carried out for esterification of oleic acid, and its Arrhenius constant (A) and activation energy (Ea) were evaluated. The maximum conversion obtained for esterification of oleic acid and transesterification of soybean oil were 86% and 95%, respectively. Also the catalyst was recycled up to four cycles without any loss in the conversion.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of nanocomposites was confirmed by both X-ray data and transmission electron microscopy and morphology showed a mix of intercalated and partially exfoliated sheets.
Abstract: Some discovery work was done on the synthesis of clay nanocomposites based on renewable plant oils. Functionalized triglycerides, such as acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, maleinized acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, and soybean oil pentaerythritol maleates, combined with styrene were used as the polymer matrix. The miscibility of these monomers and clay organomodifier was assessed by solubility parameters. The formation of nanocomposites was confirmed by both X-ray data and transmission electron microscopy. The morphology showed a mix of intercalated and partially exfoliated sheets. The flexural modulus increased 30% at only 4 vol % clay content, but there was no significant effect on flexural strength, glass-transition temperature, and thermal stability. Property enhancement was related to the degree of exfoliation that depends on both the polarity and flexibility of the monomers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
