Abstract
AbstractAlkyd resin based on jatropha and rapeseed oils using glycerol, phthalic, and maleic anhydride were synthesized to obtain the resins suitable for electrical applications. These resins were characterized for the physical and electrical properties. Varnishes were prepared using these resins and characterized as per standard methods. In general, both the varnishes prepared from alkyd resin from jatropha and rapeseed oils meet the standard requirements. However, the varnish prepared from rapeseed oil was found to be superior in terms of adhesion, break down voltage, and volume resistivity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
