Thermal properties, curing characteristics and water absorption of soybean oil-based thermoset

Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was successfully thermal-cured by using methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) curing agent, in the presence of tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) catalyst of varied concentration (0.3–0.8 phr). The polyesterification process of ESO thermoset was proven and s...
