Studies on synthesis and characterization Of bismaleimide modified soy based epoxy Matrices and bio nanocomposites

Abstract

The objectives of the present work are to develop bio based hybrid newlinematrix materials and bio nanocomposites from the renewable resources newlineepoxidized soy bean oil The prepared matrices have been chemically newlinemodified using synthetic chemical intermediates such as epoxy resin and newlinebismaleimides in order to make them suitable for high performance newlineapplications The intercross linked matrices were developed by mixing DGEBA newlineand epoxidized soy bean oil at various concentrations using newlinediaminodiphenylmethane DDM as curing agent newline newline
