Synthesis And Characterization Of New Styrenated Alkyd Resin From Olive Oil As Binder For Surface Coating

Abstract

In the current review article, an effort has been made to emphasize the inner workings of alkyd resins, the earliest polymeric resin
created from vegetable oils, in light of technological advancements that have occasionally been made to increase their practical utility.
The thorough synthesis and use of several kinds of water-born alkyds were explained in order to lessen the use of organic solvents. To
create one set of styrenated alkyds, the Styrene monomer was used to post-polymerize the alkyd at 5:5 ratio at 80 °C for 6 hours. 1
Standard techniques were used to define and assess the styrenated alkyds' physical and chemical characteristics, drying time, and
chemical resistance. Each resin displayed favorable characteristics. Even without a dryer, the styrenated alkyds provided a quicker
drying time2. The styrenated alkyds were resistant to alkali, in contrast to the unstyrenated alkyd, which is just resistant to conditions
that are acidic, wet, or briny. The AAST's coatings The FTIR, HNMR, DSC, and TGA methods were used to confirm the structures of
the changed resins that were obtained. The findings of the physico-mechanical tests demonstrated that the styrenated alkyds that were
produced are suitable for a range of coating applications.
