Characteristics of Hydrolysis Resistant Polycaprolactone/Palm Kernel Oil Based Polyol
View through CrossRef
Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyol was prepared by a ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone initiated by palm kernel oil (PKO) based polyol and 1,6-hexanediol to form a PCL/PKO based polyol. The properties of polyol were varied by their initiator:co-initiator weight ratio. The completion of polyol formation was characterized through Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Other parameters such as acid number and hydroxyl number of polyol were also studied to monitor the progress of reaction. FTIR results showed the significant changes particularly for the OH and C=O stretching peaks.
