Thermosetting epoxy foams were synthesized by replacing the commercial synthetic epoxy resin by a biogenic epoxidized vegetable oil. Foam formulations were developed avoiding the use of amine hardeners, organic volatile ...

Hypothesis Previous efforts to formulate smart foams composed of mixtures of PNIPAAm, a thermoresponsive uncharged polymer, and surfactants have failed because the surfactant displaces the PNIPAAm from the liquid-air ...

The equation of state model developed by Lacombe and Sanchez (J Phys Chem 1976, 80, 2352) is used in the form proposed later by Sanchez and Stone (Polymer Blends, Vol. 1: Formulation, 2000; Chapter 2) to correlate experimental ...

A rapeseed oil-based polyol (ROPO) was synthesized using chemical modification of the rapeseed oil (RO) by epoxidation reaction followed by oxirane ring-opening with diethylene glycol. The ROPO was used in the formulation ...

In the search for responsive complexes with potential applications in the formulation of smart dispersed systems such as foams, we hypothesized that a pH-responsive system could be formulated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) ...
