Preparation and characterization of green polymer by copolymerization of corn oil and sulphur at molten state

Vegetable oils are a promising class of bioresources for producing green polymeric materials to reduce the dependence on petro-based polymers. In this study, a green copolymer prepared by thermal copolymerization corn oil with sulphur at its molten state is reported for the first time. The proportio...
