Abstract: Abstract The cardanol-derived plasticizers cardanol acetate (CA) and epoxidized cardanol acetate (ECA) were prepared from a renewable resource, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), and their plasticization efficiencies were investigated. The thermal decomposition temperatures of the… read more here.
