Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Chemical Engineering.
Polymers synthesized from renewable plant-based monomers are gaining importance since they reduce reliance on petroleum feedstocks. Cashew nut shell liquid, side-product of cashew nut is an excellent source of naturally derived phenols. Cardanol polymerization is catalyzed by soybean peroxidase has been carried in 2-propanol/phosphate buffer. Reaction proceeds at room temperature, standard pressure and avoids use of toxic organic solvents, such as benzene, a carcinogenic. The enzymatic polymerization route of synthesis is desirable for the environment and contributes to “green polymer chemistry.” In this study, polycardanol is used as a base material for an antifouling coating. This study discusses effects of different additives to study antifouling activities of cardanol-based polymeric coatings to inhibit attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Polycardanol has been modified with a fluoropolymer and lanthanum strontium ferrite to change surface properties and study its effect on initial attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
