This week, a meeting was held with Dr. Palmese to discuss the progress and eventual outcomes of the project. Some of the topics discussed included:
- Epoxy polymerization with amine curing agents
- Free Radical Polymerization
- Use of MFAs instead of styrene
- Cashew nut shell oil derivatives such cardol and anacardic acid
- Bio-oil formation from pyrolysis
Further analysis of these topics can be found in the background information section of this blog.
In addition, it was outlined what needs to be acquired to actually conducted to project; the curing agent LITE 2562, natural fiber meshes and cashew nut shell oil derivatives. Once these products are acquired, lab times can be set up, and the procedure can be carried out.
