Abstract
AbstractTriglycerides with acrylate functionality were prepared from a new route that involves the singlet oxygen photooxygenation of high oleic sunflower oil and further reduction of the resulting hydroperoxide derivatives to a mixture of secondary allylic alcohols. These unsaturated alcohols can be further reduced to saturated alcohols. These two new hydroxyl‐containing triglycerides were functionalized as acrylate esters and radically crosslinked in presence of different amounts of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate. The crosslinking reactions were followed by FTIR spectroscopy and the thermal properties of the final materials were evaluated. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
