Abstract
The cover designed by Shinji Kanehashi presents the development of novel bio-based polymers derived from the shell liquid of cashew nuts, which is a phenolic compound in non-edible plant oil obtained from cashew nut shells. The epoxy polymer was prepared from cardanol derivatives, epoxy prepolymer and phenalkamine at room temperature without solvent. This epoxy polymer possessed anti-microbial activity against E.coli and S. aureus. The mechanical and thermal properties of this epoxy polymer were improved effectively by a post-curing process.
