Abstract
Soybean oil is one of the major vegetable oils containing more than 99% of triglycerides
 of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and has become an interesting source to produce
 bioplastic. This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of bioplastic
 developed by the acrylate epoxidized soybean oil through ring opening polymerization
 process. The mechanical properties of the samples were characterized using Fourier
 Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis and the physio-chemical
 properties of the bioplastics were studied. In this study, the bioplastic made up from
 soybean oil with the lowest glycerol concentration showed the best mechanical properties.
