  • Functionalized vegetable oil derivatives, latex compositions and textile finishes
    Publication number: 20060236467
    Abstract: An ethylenically unsaturated vegetable oil is modified by the addition of an enophile or dienophile having an acid, ester or anhydride functionality. The modified vegetable oil is then reacted with a functional vinyl monomer to form a vegetable oil derivative. The vegetable oil derivative is useful in forming latexes, coatings and textile finishes.
