Polymerization of sunflower oil with adipic acid using Catalyst at different temperatures

The polymers that have been prepared include the following: Poly(glyceride-ALT-adipate), which symbolizes it, has been prepared in two steps: The first step: Prepare the monomer from the reaction of glycerin with sunflower oil (glyceride reaction) in the presence of catalysts (pbO2) at a temperature of 150 and using the Electrical Stirrer for 5 hours. The second step: This step includes the polymerization process (condensation) in order to prepare (Alkyd Resin), where the monomer (Monoglyceride) is prepared by reacting with (Adipic acid) at different temperatures starting from (150 to 240 with a difference of 10 ℃ between one reaction and another using an electronic thermometer to control the temperature and with continuous stirring using a magnet bar and in the presence of nitrogen gas (inert atmosphere). The reaction kinetics is also calculated, which includes two processes. The first process, the kinetics of the reaction, is made by tracking the decrease in the concentration of acid value, which is made by the polymerization process. Keywords: sunflower oil, adipic acid, PbO2 Catalyst.
