Abstract: Several epoxidation methods of vegetable oil including liquid acid, solid acid, phase transfer catalysis and enzyme as catalyst are reviewed in this paper. The advantages and problems existing in each method were pointed out. Applications of epoxidized vegetable oils in polymer areas, such as in polyurethane, epoxy, and lubricants were summarized and its prospects for future development were also presented.

Key words: vegetable oils, epoxidation, polyurethane, epoxy, lubricants
