- Abstract
ABSTRACT Hybrid polymer networks based on unsaturated polyester (UPE) and epoxidized soybean oil acrylate (ESOA) were synthesized by reactive blending through free radical addition polymerization reaction. ESOA was prepared by acrylation of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO). The physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the cured blends were compared with the neat resin. ESOA resin bearing reactive functional groups showed good miscibility and compatibility with the UPE resin. The co-cured resin showed substantial upgrading in the toughness, impact resistance, thermal properties, and downgrading brittleness up to the addition of 20 wt % of ESOA content. The muddled phase structure was corroborated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy and proved the formation of excellent hybrid polymer network. An improvement in overall properties has been achieved without seriously affecting any other properties. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 44345.
