Abstract

Punnal oil is obtained from the seed of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree. The advantages of this oil are low cost, readily available, less toxic etc that can be used for the synthesis of polyesters. Punnal oil based biopolyester resin was synthesised by reacting punnal oil with peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide followed by acrylation with acrylic acid. The obtained polyester resin was cured with styrene in the presence of benzoyl peroxide. The glass fibre reinforced polyester composites were synthesised using punnal oil based biopolyester resin with glass fibre of varying compositions. The spectral studies such as FTIR and 1H NMR analysis, the mechanical properties, scanning electron microscope analysis, soil burial test and antimicrobial test were evaluated. It has been evaluated that the variation of composition of fibres influences the mechanical properties. The evaluation of ageing performance reveals that the glass fibre reinforced polyester composites showed lower degradation rate than the polyester sheet because glass fibres are non-biodegradable.
