Scientists from Malaysia performed an experiment to determine the solubility of castor oil by using supercritical carbon dioxide as extracti
ng solvent. A simple dynamic technique was used to obtain the solubility of castor oil in super critical carbon dioxide. Five semi-empirical models were tested for their ability to correlate the experimental data.
Results showed that the test models used correlated the castor oil solubility data with the lowest average absolute relative deviation percentage (AARD %).
l core was synthesized. The nucleating effect of the branched polymer on the crystallization of PLLA was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry and a polarized optical microscopy.
Polyurethane was synthesized using transesterified castor oil and partially Biobased isocyanate with varying concentrations of isocyanate and hydroxyl groups.
