| Abstract Scope |
From the last century to nowadays, the warning regarding with nature is increasing since the earth is facing to climate changes rapidly. Researches are trying to find substitutes of synthetic products made by fossil resources, using materials from renewables sources. The common epoxy is used largely in the world, but this type of resin is made from petroleum. One way to fabricate green epoxy is from vegetable oils. Usually the idea is do an epoxidization on vegetal oils, but the objective of this work was to find a way easier to reduce the quantity of petroleum-derived resin components. Therefore, were mixed the common epoxy, that is called Diglicidil Ether Bisphenol A (DGEBA), directly with cardanol with different weight percentages, with curing with another common hardener on the market, trietilenetetramine (TETA). To evaluate was performed mechanical testing proofing the possibility to reduce the amount (30%) of DGEBA without loose performance. |
