Article Synopsis
- Vegetable oil, particularly castor oil, is gaining research attention due to its renewable properties and unique molecular structure.
- Through a two-step chemical modification process, castor oil was converted into a triacrylate structure and subsequently used to create a waterborne polyurethane acrylate emulsion that undergoes UV curing.
- The study demonstrated that increasing the MACOG content improved the thermal and mechanical properties of the coatings, highlighting potential advancements in the use of castor oil for high-performance coating applications.
