Abstract

In the present work, palm oil based alkyd resin was prepared with and without the presence of CuO nanoparticles. The curing of the prepared alkyd resin with different ratio of epoxy resin in the presence of poly(amido amine) as hardener was investigated. The mechanical properties, such as tensile and flexural strength of the cured blends were measured. The interaction between alkyd, epoxy and CuO nanoparticle were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was found that, crosslinking between alkyd and epoxy is possible through the formation of interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). The thermal stability and wettability of the blend was also investigated. It was found that, the CuO incorporated nanocomposite presented greater thermal stability and hydrophobicity than neat composite.
