摘要

Cardanol-furfuraldehyde/maghemite composites were prepared through a bulk polymerization aiming to produce magnetic green resins able to absorb petroleum spilled on the water. Several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultravioletvisible spectrophotometry, wide angle X-ray scattering, and small angle X-ray scattering were used in the characterization of the materials. In addition, magnetic force and oil removal capability tests were also performed. Obtained materials presented a good magnetic force allied with a considerable oil removal capability: each gram of the resin was able to remove 10g of petroleum from the water. Therefore, the easy and simple production process presented is a promising tool for oil spill cleanup process. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2013.
