Reaction kineticsof epoxidation was investigated by oxirane content and iodine value titrimetric determination, as well as FTIRspectra analysis. A highly functional biobased polyol was synthesized by functionalizing epoxidized tall oilfatty acids with triethanolamine using Montmorillonite K10 as a catalyst. The obtained polyol was analyzed byFTIR and MALDI-TOF MS. The most common chemical and physical characteristics of obtained polyol weredetermined.展开更多
