The polyester elastomers are obtained from natural oils. These are generated from renewable natural sources. This study concerns with the preparation and properties of a biodegradable polymers from non-volatile oil like sunflower oil was carried out. In this work, polyesters were obtained by thermal poly condensation technique on the effect of sunflower oil based acrylated epoxidized resin with monomers such as methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate with addition of catalyst .The prepared epoxy resin and acrylated epoxidized resin were characterized using FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and 1HNMR spectroscopy. The new polymeric material exhibited tensile stress strain behavior ranging from soft rubbers relatively brittle plastics. Thermal characterization such as differential thermal analysis [DTA] and thermo Gravimetric Analysis [TGA] were carried out. Biodegradability test was carried out using hydrolytic test, chemical test. These polyester exhibited wide range of mechanical and degradation profile that can be tuned by the choice of monomers.
