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 %).
Castor seed futures edged up marginally on NCDEX due to rise in demand from consuming industries.

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 oi
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.
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.
Scientists conducted an experiment to analyze the influence of isocyanate, hydroxyl groups and transesterified castor oil on the structure and properties of 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.

Researchers from Malaysia performed an experiment to optimize the solvent extraction of castor oil through response surface methodology. Castor oil was extracted using solvent extraction with three different solvents: hexane, petroleum-ether and ethanol. Optimization of the percentage of oil yield was carried out using response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design.
The model equations gave good fit with appropriate coefficient of determination for the three solvents stating that response surface methodology would e suitable for optimization of percentage oil yields.
Scientists from India conducted an experiment to analyze the suitable source needed to manufacture UV-curable polyurethane dispersions for coating applications. They synthesized a series of novel waterborne UV-curable polyurethane dispersions from castor oil, Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), Dimethylolpropionic Acid (DMPA)and Hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) by acetone process.
The prepared UV-PUDs were mixed with three different monomers and characterization studies were conducted. Results showed that the combination of renewable resource (castor oil) and environment compliant technology could make these UV-PUDs suitable for coating applications.
