Chemical modification of Terminalia catappa L. kernel oil methyl ester using epoxidation-esterification approach, for application as bio-transformer fluid – Physicochemical characterization, kinetics and thermodynamics

Epoxidation-esterification of fatty acid methyl ester obtained from Terminalia catappa L. kernel oil (TCKO), its characterization, kinetics and thermodynamics were the main focus of this study. The methyl ester obtained via base catalyzed transesterification was used for epoxidation-esterification m...
