SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the vulcanization of soybean oil using specific chemicals. Magnesium oxide and sulfur are confirmed effective agents for this process. The properties of the vulcanized soybean oil vary, with magnesium oxide resulting in a shapeable material that can deform. Additionally, the discussion highlights the potential of blown oils and advises against using alpha olefin crosslinking reagents.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vulcanization processes
  • Familiarity with soybean oil chemistry
  • Knowledge of chemical crosslinking agents
  • Basic concepts of polymer science
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of magnesium oxide and sulfur on soybean oil vulcanization
  • Explore the properties and applications of blown oils
  • Investigate alternative crosslinking agents for soybean oil
  • Learn about the chemical structure and reactivity of double bonds in oils
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, material scientists, and manufacturers interested in the vulcanization of natural oils for industrial applications.

Does anyone know of any chemicals that will vulcanize soybean oil? I only know of two chemicals at the moment- Magnesium oxide, and sulfur. I have tried these chemicals and they do work. The one made with magesium oxide is very shapeable and deforms into a blob if left alone.

Maybe you have discovered a dilatent filler for your soybean oil?

The double bonds of the soybean oil can be vulcanized in ways almost identical to that of natural or synthetic rubbers. Google can help you find many of them. There are too many to list here. You should ignore any references to "alpha olefin" crosslinking reagents. You should also look into 'blown oil' as it pertains to soybean oil. The blown oils have additional functionality (derived from the cis double bonds) that can be crosslinked.
