Abstract
Biopolyesters were synthesised from naturally available sunflower oil. Sunflower oil has been used for the preparation of biopolyesters for its several applications. Hydroxylated sunflower oil (HSO) has been carried out by formic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Further poly (sunflower oil fumarate) biopolyester resin (SFPR) were synthesised from hydroxylated sunflower oil and it characterised by FT-IR and 1H NMR. Poly (sunflower oil fumarate) biopolyester composites were synthesised from poly (sunflower oil fumarate) biopolyester resin with acrylo nitrile, benzoyl peroxide, dimethyl aniline. Natural fibres such as sisal, banana, coir fibre etc. were locally available in abundance. Biopolyester composites have been prepared from natural fibre with different ratios. The biopolyester composites were characterised by FT-IR, swelling analysis, solvent absorptivity percentage, soil burial test and SEM analysis.
