EPOXIDIZED OIL AND RESIN COMPOSITIONS

In some aspects, the disclosure relates to thermoset polymeric compositions consisting of functional bio-based epoxies and/or their derivatives (e.g. epoxidized vegetable oil(s)), along with carboxylfunctional acrylics and/or polyesters. When cured, example compositions yield high performance products suitable for composite, coating, adhesive, sealant, and/or elastomer applications. When used instone composite formulations with suitable fillers like quartz and titanium dioxide, example products have high hardness, very low water absorption, and high mechanical strength along with stain, chemical, and heat resistance. When used in coating formulations, example cured films have excellent adhesion, high gloss, clarity, toughness, low water absorption, solvent and chemical resistance, flexibility, and impact resistance without compromising hardness. Coating formulation properties may also include exterior durability. The composition properties may be selectively modified to hard, soft, tough, or elastomeric by se
