Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Bio-Lubricant Basestock Synthesis from High Free Fatty Acids Castor Oil

Scientists from India performed an experiment to optimize the synthesis of biolubricCastor oilant basestock from high free fatty acid castor oil via epoxidation reaction. Influence of various process parameters was optimized.  Central composite design (CCD) was used to evaluate the effects of process variables on maximum oxirane oxygen content (OOC).

From the response surface methodology study, it could be concluded that low FFA CO could act as a suitable feedstock for lubricant synthesis with improved physico-chemical properties.

Solubility Assessment of Castor (Ricinus communis L) Oil in Supercritical CO2 at Different Temperatures and Pressures under Dynamic Conditions

Scientists from Malaysia performed an experiment to determine the solubility of castor oil by using supercritical carbon dioxide as extractiCastor oilng 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 %).

Bio-Based Branched Polymer Bearing Castor Oil Core as a Nucleating Agent for Poly(L -Lactic Acid)

Researchers from Japan performed an experiment to analyze the change in characteristics of PLLA by introducing a biobased branched polymer bearing castor oil core as a nucleating agent.  The Biobased polymer bearing castor oiPoly l-lactic acidl 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.

Results showed that by the addition of the branched polymer, the spherulite size of PLLA became smaller and the strain at break of PLLA containing the branched polymer was improved.

Influence of NCO/OH and Transesterified Castor Oil on the Structure and Properties of Polyurethane: Synthesis and Characterization

Scientists conducted an experiment to analyze the influence of isocyanate, hydroxyl groups and transesterified castor oil on the structure and properties of polyurethane. castor oil polyurethane Polyurethane was synthesized using transesterified castor oil and partially Biobased isocyanate with varying concentrations of isocyanate and hydroxyl groups.

The chemical and mechanical properties, thermal stability of polyurethanes were analyzed. Results showed that NCO/OH molar ratio had profound effect on the tensile properties and modulus of polyurethanes.
