Study Notes

Rosin Compounds

  • Rosin is a non-volatile fraction of pine resin, produced after the extraction of terpenes, exceeding 1 million tons annually worldwide.
  • The predominant component of rosin is pimaric acid, part of hydrophenthrene structures which include abietane-type and pimarane-type "resin acids."

Applications of Rosin

  • Traditional uses of rosin and its derivatives encompass paper sizers, emulsifiers, tackifiers, and additives in printing inks and varnishes.
  • A wide range of chemical modifications of rosin are employed to produce polymerizable structures for both linear and crosslinked materials.

Chemical Reactions Involving Rosin

  • Rosin undergoes various reactions such as oxidation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, isomerization, and Diels–Alder couplings.
  • The carboxylic function of rosin allows for preparation of salts, esterification, and alkoxylation.

Synthesis of Monomers

  • Chemical derivations target synthesis of monomers for polycondensation and polyaddition reactions, including rosin-based structures with carboxylic acids or anhydrides for polyesters and polyamides.
  • The incorporation of dienic moieties enables reactions with bismaleimides, while vinyl and acrylic functions facilitate diverse chemical adaptations.

Polymers and Composites

  • Synthesis includes production of homopolymers from rosin-derived monomers and copolymers alongside traditional monomers to adjust material properties.
  • Grafting with natural polymers like lignin and chitosan enhances the functionality and sustainability of derivative materials.

Novel Applications

  • Research is directed toward innovative uses of rosin, focusing on materials designed for controlled release of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
  • Recent developments in rosin-based oxiranes and acid anhydrides offer potential replacements for fossil-derived monomers in epoxy resin compositions, highlighting rosin's role as a renewable resource.
