I would like to create a copolymer using Hydrogenated castor oil and Sebacic acid to create a hair conditioning treatment, however I dont know where to begin so any advice will be highly appreciated.


I would like to know how a copolymer is formed, is it as simple as mixing sebacic acid and Hydrogenated Castor Oil under heat?


What formula should I use to work out the proportions of Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Sebacic Acid?


What formula should be used to work out the temperature needed to begin the chemical reaction?


How do I ensure that the chemical reaction has finished? Is there any formulas to work out the time needed for the chemical reaction of let's say 10g of sebacic acid and 50g of hydrogenated castor oil?


Is there any other substances that must be used to start the polymerisation or is sebacic acid and hydrogenated castor oil enough?


Any advise would be appreciated.


Many thanks
