Application


  • Selection of lubricant type and concentration for orodispersible tablets: This study evaluates the efficacy of various lubricants, including castor oil, for use in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in the manufacturing of orodispersible tablets (Yi Zheng A et al., 2024) (doi: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124190).

  • Polymers from Plant Oils Linked by Siloxane Bonds for Programmed Depolymerization: Focuses on the synthesis of innovative polymers from castor oil, linked via siloxane bonds, aimed at enhancing the sustainability of material production through easier depolymerization (Cheng C et al., 2024) (doi: 10.1021/jacs.4c01982).

  • Mechanical properties and curing kinetics of bio-based benzoxazine-epoxy copolymer for dental fiber post: Explores the use of castor oil in the creation of bio-based benzoxazine-epoxy copolymers, focusing on their mechanical properties and curing kinetics, with applications in dental materials (Mora P et al., 2023) (doi: 10.1186/s40643-023-00684-x).
