Abstract
AbstractCardanol‐furfuraldehyde/maghemite composites were prepared through a bulk polymerization aiming to produce magnetic green resins able to absorb petroleum spilled on the water. Several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry, wide angle X‐ray scattering, and small angle X‐ray scattering were used in the characterization of the materials. In addition, magnetic force and oil removal capability tests were also performed. Obtained materials presented a good magnetic force allied with a considerable oil removal capability: each gram of the resin was able to remove 10g of petroleum from the water. Therefore, the easy and simple production process presented is a promising tool for oil spill cleanup process. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2013. © 2012 Society of Plastics Engineers
