Greetings,
Recently, I read some research papers on the application of an epoxidized soybean oil in coating as stabilizer. The paper highlighted on the advantage of the epoxidized soybean oil as an eco-friendly material. But, to my humble understanding, most materials that contain reactive epoxides possess mutagenic property which is quite harmful. Hence, I am quite confused as to the reason for epoxidized soybean oil is being highlighted as a eco-friendly material. Can someone enlightened me. Thank you.
p/s,The paper was published in a very prestigious journal
