In this study acrylated epoxidized flaxseed oil was synthesized and then characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Triglycerides are the main constituents of flaxseed oil and the carbon-carbon double bond is the reaction site for epoxidation. Flaxseed oil was epoxidized by adding formic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Acrylic acid was then added to produce acrylated epoxidized flaxseed oil (AEFO). The change in the structure of the fatty acids chain after the epoxidation and acrylation reactions was measured and characterized by Hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1 NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR spectra of epoxidized flaxseed oil and flaxseed oil shows the disappearance of the = C-H (3012 cm(-1)) and C = C (1654 cm(-1)) peaks. The FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of AEFO since the presence of hydroxyl group (-OH) was shown by the peak at 3 455 cm(-1) and the acrylate group (-CH = CH2), which was indicated by the peaks at 1406, 984 and 812 cm(-1). The changes in peaks of the H-1 NMR spectra also confirmed the formation of AEFO. The number of acrylate groups/molecule of triglyceride was found to be 2.6 from H-1 NMR spectra.
