In this study, bio-based epoxy materials containing functionalized plant oil, such as epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), were processed with 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHPA) as a curing agent. In the presence of tetraethylammonium bromide, the curing reaction of epoxidized plant oil and MHPA proceeded at 130 A degrees C to give transparent plant oil-based epoxy materials. The resulting bio-based epoxy materials exhibited relatively soft and flexible characters, due to the aliphatic chains of plant oil. The thermal and mechanical properties of the ESO/MHPA polymers depended on the feed molar ratio of anhydride to oxirane. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young's modulus of the ELO/MHPA polymer increased, compared with those of the ESO/MHPA polymer. The glass transition temperature of the ELO/MHPA polymer was higher than that of the ESO/MHPA polymer, because of the high oxirane number of ELO. Furthermore, the ELO/MHPA polymer showed excellent shape memory property.
