Synthesis and characterization of alumina filled polyesteramide derived from Jatropha curcas seed oil

Abstract

The Jatropha curcas seed oil converted to N,N-bis (2-hydroxy ethyl) fatty amide (JCHEFA) by reacting with diethanol amine. JCHEFA reacted with phthalic acid to obtained Jatropha curcas polyesteramide (JCPEA). The JCPEA treated with aluminium hydroxide to synthesized alumina filled polyesteramide (JCAPEA). The synthesized JCHEFA, JCPEA and JCAPEA have been characterized by the measurement of physic-chemical properties like specific gravity, refractive index, acid value, iodine value, soponification value. The synthesized intermediates and the final resin were also characterized by FT-IR, 1 HNMR spectroscopic analyses.
