Novel fiberglass-reinforced composites were fabricated by the ultraviolet and visible (solar) irradiation of epoxidized vegetable oils in the presence of onium salt cationic photoinitiators. A variety of layup techniques and experimental conditions were explored to optimize composite fabrication. It

Abstract
Crosslinked copolymers and IPNs were synthesized from vegetable oils (e.g., cottonseed oil, castor oil, and tung oil). The dynamic mechanical behavior of the polymer blends was studied by Dynamic Mechanical Spectroscopy (DMS). The tan Ξ΄βtemperature curves of these kinds of copolymers and IPNs show a single peak, which indicate good compatibility. They represent a kind of damping materials with high tan Ξ΄ values over wide temperature ranges. Thus a new way has been found to use natural products of agriculture to produce damping materials. Effects of various factors on the dynamic mechanical behavior were studied. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 88: 1840β1842, 2003

The prepolymers for a novel oil absorbent were synthesized by copolymerizing styrene with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), lauryl acrylate (LA), lauryl methacrylate (LMA), and stearyl acrylate (SA). Suspension polymerization was carried out using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator with a varying mon
