Pyrolysis of petroleum hydrocarbons (including diesel pyrolysis) aimed at obtaining polyethylene also creates certain liquid products which can be used for making so-called resins (PRs). The C9 fraction from pyrolysis contains among others, styrene and its derivatives, indene pentanodiene. Petroleum with epoxy groups (PREs) have been synthesized by oligomerization unsaturated components the in presence 4,4'-azo-bis-[2,3-epoxypropoxy-4-cyano-pentanenitrile] (AEPCP) as an azoinitiator. influence azoinitiator quantity, temperature time upon yield characteristics resulting functional has evaluated. structure was confirmed IR-spectroscopy. Our PREs potential applications active additives to industrial based on Bisphenol A.
