Calvo ii ABSTRACT Tung oil was used as a diene for modification with acrylate dienophiles via a Diels-Alder reaction. In this thesis, the research was divided into two related parts. In the first part, UV-curable resins were prepared from tung oil and tung oil alkyd for a high solids coating application. In the second part, tung oil alkyd was modified with three different acrylate monomers, possessing either alkoxysilane, triallyl ether, or fluorinated groups. The structures of the modified tung oil and alkyds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Two UV-curable tung oil-based resins in the first part were synthesized via the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. A UV-curable Tung Oil (UVTO) was prepared from bodied tung oil and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) by a two-step reaction. Bodied tung oil was primarily prepared by treatment at high temperature, and then reacted with TMPTMA on the α-eleosterate of tung oil triglyceride via the Diels-Alder reaction. An inhibitor, phenothiazine, was added to avoid homopolymerziaton of TMPTMA. UV-curable Tung Oil Alkyd (UVTA) was prepared by the monoglyceride process, and then reacted with TMPTMA via the Diels-Alder reaction. The UVTO and UVTA were formulated with a free radical reactive diluent, tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) and photoinitiator Irgacure 2100. Photo Differential Scanning Calorimeter iii (Photo-DSC) was used to investigate the curing kinetics of the UVTO and the UVTA. The data showed that the UVTA formula was cured faster than to the UVTO formula. In the second part, the α-eleosterate pendent fatty acid of tung oil alkyd was functionalized via a Diels-Alder reaction with three different acrylate groups, 2,2,2- trifluoroethyl methacrylate, 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, and triallyl ether acrylate. Drying time and viscoelastic properties of the alkyd-modified film were investigated. Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) was employed to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of the alkyd-modified films. The viscoelastic and drying time result shows that the alkyd modified with siloxane and triallyl ether group shows a faster drying time, higher crosslink density, and higher glass transition temperature compared to the unmodified alkyd, whereas the fluorinated alkyd showed surface active properties, but lacks in drying and crosslink density. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... ix CHAPTER I.

  • Components and Types of Varnishes
    Components and types of Varnishes Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. However, different types of varnish have different components. After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air (autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes "dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but will experience an extended curing period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", to hard. Environmental factors such as heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat. Drying oil There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air.

Amour paints contain lamellar and highly reflexive pigments of micaceous iron oxide (MIO) and metallic, leafing aluminium, bound in linseed oil and linseed oil–tung oil mixtures, on an inhibitive and soap-forming linseed oil primer (red lead). It is the first study of the binding media used for historical armour paints and investigates the chemical and physical ageing of armour paints using a multianalytical approach. Naturally aged examples are compared to accelerated aged replica armour paint, and to historical paints. The ageing and degradation reactions are assessed by complementary GC–MS and FTIR, together with measurements of wettability, hardness and surface colour. The historical paint formulations include linseed oils and alkyd binders. The results confirm Citation: Källbom, A.; Nevin, A.; Izzo, F.C.

Newkome _____________________________ _____________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. George Chase _____________________________ Committee Member Dr. Wiley J. Youngs ii ABSTRACT Tung oil was used as diene for modification via a Diels-Alder reaction with acrylate dienophiles. Tung oil was modified with three different acrylate molecules: 3- methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MAS), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFM) and triallyl ether acrylate (TAEA) at atmospheric pressure. The modified tung oils were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT-IR. The molecular weight and distribution were characterized using GPC, and MALDI-TOF. The effects of new acrylate modified tung oils on the properties of alkyd-based coatings film were investigated including hardness, solvent resistance, flexibility, gloss, impact resistance, contact angle, tensile, and thermo-mechanical properties. The viscosity can be reduced to the application viscosity of the alkyd by the reactive diluents. Drying time study showed that drying time can be altered by types and level of diluent added. All the results revealed that modified tung oils can be used as volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant in alkyd systems.

  • Safflower Oil Fatty Acid Content
    Decarboxylation and hydrogenation of safflower and rapeseed oils and soaps to produce diesel fuels by Dwight Randall Hiebert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Montana State University © Copyright by Dwight Randall Hiebert (1985) Abstract: The purpose of this research was to study the decarboxylation and hydrogenation of safflower and rapeseed vegetable oils and their derivatives and evaluate their products' potential use as diesel fuels. Decarboxylation reactions were carried out on the raw oils and their calcium salts (soaps) in a 500 ml batch reactor. These experiments were run at high temperatures (700-800°F) and at atmospheric pressure, both with and without catalysts. Hydrogenation was done in a 500 ml rocking bomb at 1500 PSI and 300°F using a Raney nickel catalyst. Thickening tests were performed at 150°C in the presence of oxygen and a copper catalyst to determine if small amounts of the fuel substitute would polymerize in crankcase lubricating oil. Feed materials and products were analyzed to determine the following physical characteristics: iodine value, kinematic viscosity, density, water content, distillation ranges, acid number, and elemental analysis. The most promising safflower oil decarboxylation catalyst was a Harshaw nickel-molybdenum variety which gave liquid product yields of 74%. Even greater yields (over 90%) were obtained using this catalyst to decarboxylate crude rapeseed oil. Decarboxylation of the calcium soap of safflower oil produced its highest yield (55%) without the aid of a catalyst. Thermal decarboxylation of the rapeseed calcium soap without a catalyst produced yields of over 60%.

  • Eleostearic Acid
    coatings Article Bio-Based Composites with Enhanced Matrix-Reinforcement Interactions from the Polymerization of α-Eleostearic Acid Amanda Murawski and Rafael L. Quirino * Chemistry Department, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA 30458, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 9 July 2019; Published: 17 July 2019 Abstract: Vegetable oil-based composites have been proposed as interesting bio-based materials in the recent past. The carbon–carbon double bonds in unsaturated vegetable oils are ideal reactive sites for free radical polymerization. Without the presence of a reinforcement, typical vegetable oil-based polymers cannot achieve competitive thermo-mechanical properties. Compatibilizers have been utilized to enhance the adhesion between resin and reinforcement. This work discusses the antagonist implications of polarity and crosslink density of an unprecedented polar α-eleostearic acid-based resin reinforced with α-cellulose, eliminating the need of a compatibilizer. It is shown that the polar regions of α-eleostearic acid can interact directly with the polar reinforcement. The successful isolation of α-eleostearic acid from tung oil was verified via GC-MS, 1H NMR, Raman, and FT-IR spectroscopies. The optimal cure schedule for the resin was determined by DSC and DEA. The composites’ thermo-mechanical properties were assessed by TGA, DSC, and DMA. Keywords: bio-based materials; fatty acids; thermosets; tung oil; cellulose composites 1. Introduction In the past decade, vegetable oils have received a lot of attention as an attractive bio-renewable starting material for the preparation of bio-based polymers. Polymers prepared from vegetable oils have the advantage of being versatile due to their easily tunable properties, which can be simply adjusted with changes in the resin composition.
