DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/100324· OSTI ID:100324

Objective is to use products from plant sources as monomers for direct production of polymers for plastic applications. (Epoxidized triglycerides as renewable monomers in photoinitiated cationic polymerization.) High-volume American agricultural products such as soybean, cotton or linseed oils or forestry products such as lignin and cellulose derived chemicals were targeted for use either directly or with slight modification for producing the plastics. Cationic photopolymerization will be used.
