  • Multi-functional fatty acid ester derivatives useful as biorenewable plasticizers
    Patent number: 10144812
    Abstract: Compositions useful as bioplasticizers that include a functionalized fatty acid oil having an ester head group and a fatty acid backbone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota
    Inventors: Dharma R. Kodali, Lucas J. Stolp
  • Epoxy estolide fatty acid alkyl esters useful as biorenewable plasticizers
    Patent number: 10113051
    Abstract: A composition is described that includes epoxy estolide fatty acid alkyl esters derived from triacylglycerol oil having an unsaturation of greater than 80 Iodine Value (“IV”). The esters are useful as plasticizers for a variety of polymers. Examples of triacylglycerol oils include vegetable oils such as soybean oil, castor oil, canola oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, camelina oil, and linseed oil.

  • Bio-renewable plasticizers derived from vegetable oil
    Patent number: 9315650
    Abstract: A composition includes estolide esters of vegetable oil fatty acid alkyl esters where the vegetable oil has an unsaturation greater than 90 IV. The fatty acid alkyl esters include unsaturated and saturated fatty acid alkyl esters, and each unsaturated fatty acid alkyl ester has greater than one estolide ester functionality.
