Methods of fractionating metathesized triacylglycerol polyols and uses thereof

This application relates to certain dimers as crystallization depressants for biodiesel fuels, and methods for making the same. Such dimers, due to their particular structure and conformation, disrupt the regular packing of linear saturated fatty acid methyl esters, thereby delaying nucleation and mitigating crystal growth. In some embodiments, the dimer includes (E)-1-(1-(oleoyloxy)-3-(stearoyloxy)propan-2-yl) 18-(1-(oleoyloxy)-3-(stearoyloxy)propan-2-yl)octadec-9-enedioate.

This application relates to the polymorphism and microstructure of certain triacylglycerols and fatty acid methyl esters, and how the properties of these individual components in a biodiesel fuel, as well as their combined mixtures, helps understand the fundamental mechanisms of their crystallization so as to design biodiesel fuels with improved low temperature characteristics.

Polymorphism and microstructure of certain triacylglycerols and fatty acid methyl esters

The synthesis of certain polyester diols (PEDs) is disclosed. This application also discloses the purification and polymerization kinetics of lipid based PEDs. Molecular weight and distribution controls were achieved by initial and induced stoichiometric imbalance and optimization of the purification protocol. Thermal degradation and thermal transition behavior of the PEDs were also investigated by TGA and DSC.
