olive oil

The vegetative part of the rice plant, Oryza sativa L., that remains after paddy fields have been cleared during harvest or afterward is known as rice stubble. Carboxymethyl Cellulose from Rice Stubble (CMCr) is a promising biopolymer source that can be made from rice stubble waste. Carboxymethyl cellulose was synthesized from rice stubble by a solvent-casting method. Various types of plasticizers (glycerol and olive oil) and the components they contain provide flexibility for use as a material for food packaging.

New acrylic monomers were obtained via transesterification of olive, canola, and high-oleic soybean oils by N-hydroxyethylacrylamide. The kinetic features of homopolymerization of these monomers were studied and the influence of linoleic (C18: 2) and linolenic (C18: 3) acid esters on the polymerization rate and the molecular weight of homopolymers were compared.

In the last decade, attention to the synthesis of plant-based monomers has been grown, due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, also their renewal. Polymers based on them can be used as an alternative to conventional polymers of petrochemical origin, to produce composites, coatings and other materials especially those that are used to decorate the interiors of houses and offices. There is a growing interest in plant oil-based monomers. A range of the hydrophobic monomers that are used to obtain paints, adhesives, plasticizers, coatings etc. were synthesized.
