Epoxidized vegetable oils based thermoset materials are widely used to develop biopolymers and to replace the fossil-fuel based polymers. In this paper, a blend of epoxy resin and epoxidized palm oil (EPO) were prepared and characterized by direct and pre-mixed methods to investigate its mechanical...
