Jatropha Curcas oil was extracted from Jatropha seeds by solvent extraction method. Three different
alkyd resins have been developed fromJatropha Curcas oil by varying the amount ofphthalic and maleic
anhydride. The prepared resins are cured by using methyl-ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) as initiator and
Co-octoate as an accelerator at 120 C. The characterizations ofthe resins for structure establishment is
carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR)
spectroscopic techniques. The concomitant properties of the cured resins such as acid value, saponifi-
cation value, viscosity, molecular weight, etc. are also evaluated by standard methods. The cured resins
have been tested for chemical resistance, pencil hardness, adhesion, thermal stability and gloss and it
can be concluded that the resins may find potential applications in surface coating purposes.

1. Introduction
The uses of renewable resources in different fields of applica-
tions of polymers have been proliferating day by day because of
increased worldwide awareness of environmental concerns and
depletion of world oil pool. Naturally renewable resources possess
many advantages such as availability of feedstock, environment
friendly nature and low cost [13]. The vast forest resources and
farm lands in India yield a large variety of oil-bearing seeds. A
numberof seed oils have been used in thesynthesis of various poly-
meric resins like polyester, epoxy, polyurethane, polyester amide,
etc. [1,47]. Major seed oils used traditionally for preparation of
suchresins are linseed, castor, soyabean,sunflower,safflower,tung,
coconut, etc. These resinshave been used in differentfields of appli-
cations such as paint, coating, adhesives, binder for composites,etc.
Non-traditionaloils such as nahar oil, rubberseed oil, jatropha seed
oil, mahua-oil, melon seedoil, annona squmosa, African mahogany
seed oil, African locust bean seed oil, etc. are not exploited much in
the preparation of alkyd resins [1,2,813]. The products based onvegetableoils are developedkeeping twocriteriain mind. First,the
products must meet the technical andindustrial standardsof dura-
bility, fastness to exposure, resistance to chemicals, etc. Secondly,
the products must also meet all ecologically relevant standards
[14].

froma purified vegetable oil.The performance characteristicsof the
polyester resins were improved by blending with other commer-
cial resins. They also reported the use of these polyester resins as
binder materialfor industrialstoving paint[8]. Guner et al.reported
thepreparation of various polymers fromtriglycerideoils. The pres-
ence of oil/fatty acid chain in the polymer structure improves some
physical properties of polymer in terms of flexibility, adhesion and
resistance to water and chemicals. These polymers were reported
to be biodegradable and biocompatible [15]. Aigbodion et al. stud-
ied the utilization of maleinized rubber seed oil and its alkyd resin
as binders in water-borne coatings. The rubberseed oil was treated
withdifferentamounts of maleic anhydrideand evaluatedas binder
in non-polluting coating and also used to prepare alkyd resin. The
incorporationof maleic anhydrideinto rubber seedoil increases the
acid value and saponification value but decreases the iodine value.
The alkyd films were highly resistant to acid, brine and water but
only fairly resistant to alkali while maleinized rubber seed oil films
exhibited poor chemical resistance [9]. Kumar et al. made anevalu-
ation of Jatropha Curcasas multipurpose oilseed crop forindustrialuses. Jatropha is a drought-resistant shrub or tree, which is widely
distributed in the wildor semi-cultivatedareas in Central andSouth
America, Africa, and South-East Asia [16,17]. The first commercial
applications ofJatropha were reported from Lisbon, where the oil
imported from Cape Verde was used for soap production and for
lamps.The Jatropha oilwas blended with Palmbiodiesel to improve
oxidation stability needed for South Asian and South East-Asian
countries [18]. Akintayo et al. studied the Characteristics and com-
position of Jatropha Curcas oils and cakes. From their study, the
fatty acid composition of Jatropha Curcas oilwas foundas: palmitic
acid, 19.9%, stearic acid, 6.8%, oleic acid, 41.3%, linoleic acid, 31.4%,

linolenic acid,3.0%, saturatedacids, 26.3%, unsaturated acids, 72.7%,
etc. [19]. Odetoye et al. reported the utilization of Jatropha Cur-
cas Linnaeus (JCL) seed oil in the preparation of four sets of alkyd
resin (35%, 50%, 60% and 75% oil formulations) using a two-stage
alcoholysispolyesterification method. The alkyds were tested for
solubility, viscosity, colour, drying performance, solidification time
and film characteristics,e.g. thickness, hardness, adhesion and flex-
ibility, etc. They also evaluated the properties of the alkyds and
compared the properties with those of the commercial standards
[20].
Jatropha Curcas is a versatile plant with several and poten-
tial uses such as biodiesel, medicine, cosmetics, etc. This oil has
also been used for making soap commercially in many countries.
In addition, several parts of the Jatropha plant have medical and
cosmetic uses [21]. Jatropha Curcas is becoming the future source
of biodiesel for India and other countries. Among the various oil
seeds, Jatropha Curcas has been found more suitable for biodiesel
production on the basis of various characteristics. The cultivation
of Jatropha is possible under stress condition and the oil of these
species having various characteristics is more suitable for biodiesel
production [22]. Different stages of Jatropha seeds are shown in
Fig. 1.
It has been found from these analyses that although Jatropha
Curcas oil is exploited for different potential applications, it has
not yet attracted much interest in surface coating industries. In
this paper, an attempt has been made to synthesize alkyd resins of
different compositions from Jatropha Curcas oil. Physico-chemical
properties of alkyd resins are evaluated to assess the suitability of
Jatropha oil as potential raw material for the preparation of alkyd
resin.
2. Experimental
2.1. Materials
Phthalic anhydride (Aldrich), maleic anhydride (Aldrich) and
lead monoxide (S.D. Fine Chem. Ltd.) were commercial grade
reagent and used without further purification. Methyl-ethyl ketone
peroxide and cobalt-octoate (Aldrich), glycerol and phenolph-
thalein (Qualigen fine chemicals) were used as received. All the
solvents were purified before using by standard method. Jatropha
seed was collected from Sonitpur, Assam (India) and the oil was
collected from the seeds by solvent extraction method. The purifi-
cation was done by alkali refining technique.
2.2. Instruments and methods
The FT-IR spectra of the resins were recorded by FT-IR Nico-
let 410 using KBr pellet. 1
H NMR spectra were obtained by JEOL400MHz NMRspectrometer using CDCl3 as the solvent. The ther-
mogravimetric analysis was done with the thermogravimetric
analyser TGA-50, Shimadzu at the heating rate of 10C/min under
N2 atmosphere. The pencil hardness was determined in scale of
6B to 6H of a standard set of pencils by dragging the pencil along
the films using a pencil hardness tester. The relative amount of
scratching is reported as the pencil number which offers the least
scratching. Gloss was determined by using a 60 Gloss meter.
Viscosity was determined by Brookfield viscometer, RVT model
(#spindle 3, RPM 20) at room temperature .The physical proper-
ties of the resins such as acid value, saponification value, drying
time and adhesion were determined by standard methods [23].
Also, molecular weight of the oil and resins were determined by
GPC technique.

2.3. Synthesis of alkyd resin from Jatropha Curcas oil
A three necked round bottom flask equipped with a mechan-
ical stirrer, a thermometer and a nitrogen gas inlet was charged
with 32.68g (0.04 mol) of Jatropha Curcas oil, 7.36g (0.08mol) of
glycerol and 0.05 weight percent (with respect to the oil) of PbO
with continuous stirring. The mixture was heated continuously
up to (225230) C for 4560min until it formed monoglyceride,
confirmed by solubility in methanol (resin:methanol = 1:3, v/v) at
ambient temperature. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to
125 C and 0.12mole of acid anhydride in the form of fine powder
with 1.98g of excess glycerol (27%) was added. Now, the reaction
temperature was raised to 230C until it reached acid value in the
range of 2030. The compositions of the three different resins are
shown in Table 1.
2.4. Curing of alkyd resins
The synthesized resins were cured employing the processes
mentionedherein. 1 g of each batch of resin wastakenin a petridish
and mixed with 0.04g of MEKP an initiator (4phr) and 0.02g of
cobalt-octoate as accelerator and after 10min of continuous mix-
ing it was uniformly coated over glass plates and heated at 80C in
oven and further the temperature was increased to 120 C. At dif-
ferenttime interval,the filmwas taken outof the oven andchecked
for hardening of the resin on pressing by finger tip. The curing time
of the resins are shown in Table 3.
2.5. Chemical resistance
A fixed amount of these resins 0.5 g were coated on glass plates
and kept in 250 mLbeakers containing 200mLof different chemi-
cals, viz. 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid (v/v) solution, 1% aqueous
sodium hydroxide (w/v) solution, 10% aqueous sodium chloride
solution and distilled water for 3 days at room temperature.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Synthesis of alkyd resin from Jatropha Curcas oil
The alkyd resins were synthesized by employing commonly
used alcoholysis process where raw vegetable oil undergoes trans-
esterification when heated with glycerol at 220 C resulting in a

mixture of mono and diglyceride oil. Then esterification was car-
ried out with the addition of phthalic acid or maleic anhydride at
210 C. Lead monoxide (PbO) is used as catalyst during thereaction.
Scheme 1 represents the general reactions involved in synthesis ofalkyd resins.
This resinification reaction is free from theuse of anysolventsto
shun certain limitations associatedwith it like removal, health haz-
ards, flammability, etc. Nitrogen gas was used as the inert blanket,
which facilitates the removal of water produced during conden-
sation reaction in the second step. The extent of reaction was
monitored by measuring the acid value at different intervals of
time. The reaction was stopped as soon as the desired level of acid
value was attained (Table 4).
3.2. Spectroscopic analysis of resins
The alkyd resins of different compositions were characterized
using FT-IR,1
H NMRspectroscopic techniques.The FT-IR spectrum of the oil is shown in Fig. 2. Characteristic
peaks are found at 3468cm1 due to O H stretching vibration and
at 28562924cm1 is due to aliphatic C H stretching vibration.
Peaks for C O stretching vibration of triglyceride ester appears at
1744cm1, for C C stretching vibration at 1655cm1 and that for
C H bending vibration is found at1456cm1. Also, peakat 1162is

due to the methylene rocking vibration.
TheFT-IRspectraldata(Fig. 3) of theresins indicate thepresence
of important linkages, viz. ester group, olefinic double bonds andothercharacteristicpeaks as listed in Table 2. The polyesterification
reaction is confirmed by FT-IR analysis. In Jatropha oil, the peak for
>C O band appears at 1744 cm1, whereas in case of synthesized
resins, peaks for >C O bandappear at17311733cm1, indicating
some modification around the carbonyl group. IR absorption peak

unsaturation at 1590 cm1. The characteristics peaks of the resins
are shown in Table 2.1H NMRspectrum of the oil has been shown in Fig. 4. Peaks at
0.870.89 ppm are due to the protons of terminal methyl group.
For all the protons of internal CH2 groups present in the fatty
acid chain peaks arise at 1.60ppm. Characteristic peaks at
2.012.05ppm are for allylic protons of CH2, at 2.302.32ppm

next to the above terminal methyl group. Peaks at 1.211.29ppm
are observed for protons of all the internal CH2 groups present
in the fatty acid chain. For protons of unsaturated carbons, the
characteristic peaks appear at 5.335.35 ppm and the same for
methyleneprotonsof glycerol moiety arefound at3.544.79ppm.
The protons for CH ofsame glycerolmoiety are observedat very
high value of 6.286.86 ppm. It may be due to the deshielding
effect by the anhydride group possessing one unsaturation unit
(MA) or aromatic ring (PA) which are absent in the1 H NMRspec-
trum of the oil. The PA containing resin (Resin 1) shows aromatic
protons at 7.547.83.
3.3. Curing of alkyd resin
The curing times of synthesized resins are listed in Table 3. The
curing time decreases continuously with the increase of MA con-
tent in resins. Resin 3 shows the lowest curing time (4h at 120C)
whereas the curing time for Resin 1 is 9 h and that for Resin 2 is
6h at same temperature. This may be due to the fact that with
the increase of MA content in resin, the degree of unsaturation
increases, which causes decrease in the curing time. The unsatura-
tion is the main component forcrosslinking reaction by free radical
mechanism [24].
Nahar oil based alkyd resins, which have already been used in
various paint industries, show similar curing time. PA (100%) con-
taining resin shows the highest curing time (9h at 175 C) and it
tends to decrease with increase of MA. At same temperature, 50%PA & 50% MA containing resin shows curing time 7 h and 25% PA &
75% MA containing resin shows curing time 6 h [8].
3.4. Physical properties of resins
The physical properties of the alkyd resins are given in Table 4.
The acid value increases from 23 to 44 with increase in MA

content. The resinification reaction was deliberately stopped at ear-
lier stage to avoid undesirable gel formation. The moderate acid
values of all synthesized resins support their moderate reactivity
for surface coating applications. The saponification values of the
resins are found to be in the range 383399. The saponification
value decreases as the amount of phthalic anhydride decreases.
Resin 3 exhibits the maximum viscosity. The viscosity tends to
increase as the amount of maleic anhydride content increases due
to highermolecular weightof theresin. Theamount of volatile mat-
teris low(3.254.18) forall theresins andhencethe resinsmay find
suitability in non-polluting coating applications [9]. The molecu-
lar weights (Mw) and polydispersity index of the oil and resin are
given in Table 5. In case ofthe resins, theMw tends to increase with
increase in MA content.
3.5. Physical properties of the cured alkyd resins
Physical properties of the cured films are given in Table 6.The
pencil hardness value is the highest for the Resin 1 with phthalic
anhydridedue to the presence of rigid aromatic moietyin the poly-
mer chain [24,25]. The adhesion characteristics of all the resins are
very good due to the presence of polar ester bonds [3]. The gloss
property of the resins is also found to be good. These results indi-
cate the potential of these resins for surface coating applications
[26].
For comparison, the physical properties of the cured films of
Nahar oil based alkyd resins are given in Table 6 [8]. It can be seen
that theperformance of the cured resinsof both the oils are similar.
3.6. Chemical resistance
The performance properties of cured resins under different
chemical environments are given in Table 7. For this, equal amount
of each cured film was dipped into the solvents and after a fixed
time period, weight loss was measured. More the weight loss, less
the resin is resistant to the respective solvent and vice versa.
Fig. 8. TGA thermogramof resins: (a) Resin 1, (b) Resin 2 and (c) Resin 3.
It was found that resins are highly resistant to dilute HCl, aque-
ous NaCl solution and distilled water. Resin 1, based on phthalic
anhydride is fairlyresistantto alkali, which may be dueto the pres-ence of rigid aromatic moiety. Butresinswith maleic anhydride are
notso resistantto alkali. This poor alkaliresistanceof theresins may
be due to the presence of alkali hydrolysable ester group [3].
The performance properties of Nahar oil based alkyd resins
under different chemical environments are given in Table 7 [8].
Chemical resistances of both types of resins are found to be similar.
3.7. Thermal analysis
The thermostability of the cured resins has been studied by
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under N2 atmosphere. The TGA
traces of the cured resins are given in Fig. 8. The initial 12% weight
loss is attributed to the loss of moisture. This has been confirmed
from the isothermal heating of polymers at 150 C for 12h, whichindicates a same amount of weight loss without any change in
chemical structure as confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The initial
decomposition of all the resins approximately starts at 330C. The
overall thermal stabilityof theresins arein theorderResin3 > Resin
2 > Resin 1 (Fig. 8). The high MA content in Resin 3 causes increase
in crosslinking density thereby improving the thermostability of
the cured resins. However, the amount of residue at 600 C is very

low and almost equivalent for all the resins. Thus, Jatropha Curcas
oil modified polyester resins bear very good thermostability under
the nitrogen atmosphere.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, alkyd resins based on renewable Jatropha Curcas
oiland containing mixtures of maleicanhydride andphthalicanhy-
dride in differentrations have been successfullysynthesized. It wasfound that theamount ofmaleic anhydrideused plays an important
role in tuning the properties of these resins. The structures of the
resins are confirmed by FT-IR and1 H NMRspectra. The resins pos-
sess gratifying gloss, hardness, adhesion and chemical resistance
properties, which make them suitable for surface coating, binder
for composite, etc. Moreover, the thermostability of the resins is
quite high and the initial decomposition of these resins does not
occur until at nearly 330 C. This study reveals that Jatropha Cur-
cas oil can potentially be used as a raw material for the coatings
industry.
