Synthesis and Comparative Study of Highly Thermally Stable IPNs from Natural Resources like Cardanol and Soybean Oil

Satpathy B and Pal NC

Keeping in view the demand of polymeric material a number of highly cross-linked thermally stable IPNs have been synthesized by condensing glycerol modified soybean oil polyurethanes and Cardanol based dye with amino benzoic acids. Thus, the polymer produced is characterised to know the properties, structure, stability and kinetic parameters like activation energy and order of reactions have been calculated by Freeman Anderson Method. Thermal stability of IPNs was determined by TGA, DSC and WAXRD study
