Functionalization of vegetable oils (VOs) including edible, non-edible, and waste cooking oil
(WCOs) to epoxides (EVOs) is receiving great attention by many researchers from academia …

The epoxidized group, also known as the oxirane group, can be considered as one of the
most crucial rings in chemistry. Due to the high ring strain and the polarization of the C–O …

Linseed oil is characterized by an elevated concentration of highly unsaturated fatty acids
such as linolenic and linoleic acids. This work has the objective to evaluate the effect of the …

The epoxidation of vegetable oils with percarboxylic acids yields commercially applicable
green products/precursors for the polymer industry. A reliable model of this reaction system …

Government initiatives, price cuts, and innovations in technology have caused a shift in the
world's raw material consumption towards renewable materials. The polymer industry has …

Production of epoxidized vegetable oils becomes more and more important because they
are renewable, nontoxic, and biodegradable chemicals. At the industrial scale, the …

Production of polyurethane is increasing since the recent years. Nevertheless, this
production uses hazardous chemicals, which is isocyanate. Academy has put a lot of effort to …

A side-stream of the cellulose pulping process–tall oil, was valorised for polyol precursor
synthesis. The influence of various parameters on the tall oil self-epoxidation method was …

Epoxidation of oleic acid by peracetic acid (PAA) was studied in a recycled reactor system
under conventional heating and microwave irradiation. This reaction system consists of …

In this study, a novel epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO) from chia seed oil (CSO) has been
obtained, with the aim to be employed in a great variety of green products related to the …
