Brief Project Summary:

Cellulose acetate nanocrystals (CNCs) derived soybeans with hydroxyl-rich surfaces have potential as cooperative acidbase organocatalyst and continuous flow reactor. CNCs can replace expensive synthetic polymers and also ceramics that currently are used as catalyst supports and flow reactors.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The research efforts will directed at:
? Developing bifunctional organocatalyst and hollow fiber reactor from CNCs-derived soybeans
? Evaluating of bifunctional organocatalyst for formulation and isomerization of high oleic soybean oil in both batch and continuous flow systems
? Evaluating cloud point flow and pour point properties of formulated soybean oils
? Evaluating of oxidative and aging stability of formulated oils

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
