Plant Oil-Based Polymers: Synthesis, Structure, and Temperature-Responsive Properties Near Physiological Temperatures

Development, Energy and Resource Saving in the Chemical and Food Technologies

pp.

108-111

Abstract

Acrylic monomers derived from palm (PMM), hydrogenated sunflower (HFM) and castor (CSM) oils were polymerized to explore phase transitions. DSC analysis revealed semicrystalline structures in poly(HFM) and poly(PMM) and an amorphous structure in poly(CSM). The synthesized polymers exhibit a wide range of glass, melting, and flow transition temperatures, with some close to the physiological range, highlighting potential biomedical applications and polymer brushes development.

Keywords (in English)

Thermal behavior

biobased polymers

phase transition temperatures

temperature-responsive polymers
