  • Publication number: 20240417504
    Abstract: An epoxidized vegetable oil is subjected to a first ring-opening reaction with an acidic catalyst and a ?-mercaptoalcohol compound to obtain a first reaction solution, and then the first reaction solution is subjected to a second ring-opening reaction with a cyclohydrocarbyl methanol compound to obtain the vegetable oil polyol, which adopts novel ring-opening reagents to introduce an antioxidant sulfur-containing fragment into the molecular structure of the vegetable oil polyol in a covalent manner, while also introducing a cyclohydrocarbyl group and retaining a small portion of epoxy groups, thereby ensuring that a polyurethane product has a certain degree of toughness, in addition to relatively good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, while guaranteeing the mechanical properties of the polyurethane material.
