THERMAL CARACTERIZATION OF SOYBEAN AND GRAPE SEED OIL-BASED POLYMERS: NEW SYNTHESIS PATHWAY FOLLOWING GREEN CHEMISTRY’S PRINCIPLES

Abstract This paper describes the synthesis of polymers from glycerol and vegetable oils as soybean and grape seed, synthesized following the principles of green chemistry.  Simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis – differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to evaluate the thermal decomposition, thermal stability, and oxidation, glass transition and crystallization processes. Hence it was possible to verify that they have glass transition near to room temperature. Therefore these polymers may be used as chemical slow release agents triggered by temperature and as thermal security tags.
