Abstract: <p>The epoxides of oligomeric self-metathesized soybean oil (MSBO) and cross-metathesized palm oil (PMTAG) and canola oil (CMTAG) containing terminal double bonds were used to produce nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) as well as anhydride, amine and thiol-cured epoxies. </p><p>The synthesized NIPUs displayed metal adhesive properties for CMTAG and MSBO with MSBO being favoured… more
