Asphaltene: structural characterization, molecular functionalization, and application as a low-cost filler in epoxy composites
(RSC Advances, 2015)
Asphaltene obtained by extraction from asphalt was investigated by different analytical techniques in order to characterize its composition, molecular structure and morphology. Then, the asphaltene molecules were successfully ...
Rapid room-temperature polymerization of bio-based multiaziridine-containing compounds
(RSC Advances, 2015)
Successful Michael addition under mild reaction conditions resulted in the grafting of 2-methyl aziridine onto acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, and the aziridine content was titrated as 0.00413 mol g−1. Multiaziridine-containing ...
Characterization and biodegradation behavior of bio-based poly(lactic acid) and soy protein blends for sustainable horticultural applications
(Green Chemistry, 2015)
Adipic anhydride-plasticized soy protein (SP.A) was blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) at two concentrations (50/50 and 33/67) and was evaluated for use as a sustainable replacement for petroleum plastic in horticulture ...
