    • Phytic acid oligomers as bio-based crosslinkers for epoxy and polyol resins
    Authors: Böhm, P.; Dornbusch, M.; Gutmann, J. S.;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In recent years, the chemical industry is not only striving to produce the best possible products for various applications, but the new products should ideally be based on renewable resources. The ideal case of "cradle to cradle" is generally not achievable in the coatings industry, as maximizing product life and preventing product degradation in the environment is usually one of the main goals of the coatings industry. Therefore, if the coatings industry wants to act sustainably, its efforts should be focused on renewable raw materials. This paper presents a process that makes the renewable raw material phytic acid easily accessible for conventional epoxy and polyol resin coating systems through hydrophobization- and oligomerization.
