Crosslinking of oleic acid chains

sucrose ester - 5-7-2003 at 18:23

i'm trying to make a crosslinked polymer of sucrose oleate, but the polymerization isnt working well. I have tried benzoyl peroxide but itds not efficient. Does anyone know of any specific drier for oleic acid?.lor any non toxic crosslinker used in biodegradable materials?Do lemme know.
Also, any thoughts on the efficiency of the Rast's method of molecular weight determination?
