Physicochemical and Thermal Properties of Acrylated Palm Olein as a Promising Biopolymer

摘要: The utilisation of palm oil-based polymers as biomaterials has received considerable interest to support further expansion in the biomedical field they pose potential capability competing with synthetic per their physicochemical, thermal, and crystallinity properties. In this study, synthesis a new green biopolymer, namely acrylated olein (APO) from precursor, was developed. APO synthesised via ring-opening process epoxidised (EPOo) acrylic acid triethylamine. acrylation produced an high yield (86.64%) molecular weight 1750 Da. ester group representing confirmed through proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-13 (13C-NMR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), which revealed promising biodegradable point structure. Meanwhile, thermal crystallisation profiles showed single-stage decomposition pattern its triglycerides (TAGs) crystal formation melting behaviour. As result, desired polymer obtained, possessed chemical functional group, amorphous, low
