Synthesis of organofunctional silane from rapeseed oil and its application as a coating material

Abstract

Abstract: The possibility of using natural vegetable oils, such as rapeseed oil, for the synthesis of new organofunctional silanes has been shown. Vegetable oils are one of the most important groups of renewable products because of their accessibility and a wide range of applications. This research area concerns a possible application of the oils in chemical synthesis understood in a broad sense. A particular subject of our interest was the application of organosilicon derivatives of rapeseed oil for producing protective wood coatings against water ingress. Due to the presence of alkoxysilyl groups and the use of sol–gel process, the coatings obtained were durably bonded to the wood surface. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
