Eco-friendly and Cost-effective Approach to the Synthesis of Bio-basedLight-cure Acrylate Resins

This study presents an eco-friendy method for the acrylating of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) usingviscosity control agents to produce highly acrylated ESO (AESO). FTIR and ۱H NMR analysesconfirmed the successful acrylation and epoxide consumption, validating the approach's efficacy.AESO diluted with glycidyl neodecanoate shows promise as an eco-friendly bio-based oligomer forlight-curable coatings with impressive properties. The film gel fraction, pendulum hardness and glosswere found to be ۷۹%, ۲۳, ۷۱.۱%, respectively. The water contact angle of the uv-cured film wasmeasured tobe °۷۸ which showed a relatively hydrophobic behavior. This eco-friendly, cost-effectivesynthesis offers AESO as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-derived materials in diverse industrialapplications.
