. Bulletin - Southern California Academy of Sciences. Science. ABSTRACTS 79 41. FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION OF SUNFLOWER SEED OIL BIODIESEL (SFSO BD) Fakhro, Callahan, and Page. Page Research Group, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Department of Chemistry, Pomona, CA, 91768. Synthesis of biodiesel via the transesterfication of seed oils and algae has been known for over a century. The Page Group has successfully converted various seed oils into Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs).The FAME of linoleic acid has two inactive cis double bonds toward olefin polymerization. This synthetic project focuses on the activation of the alkene system with a bromo-acrylate moiety that is primed for polymerization via a free radical initiator. The bromo-acrylation of the double bonds is completed in a one-pot transformation. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) spectrum indicates a new ester carbonyl stretching band (-OC(=0)CH=CH2) at 1729 cm-\ and acrylate resonance bands were observed at 808, 1404, and 1636 cm"'. Compound 1 was polymerized at 80° C using AIBN ( w/w) and was confirmed by the absence of the acrylate olefin resonances in the corresponding IR. HjCO. The final polymerized product could be potentially incorporated into the synthesis of many common petroleum based products that are in use today. 42. QUANTIFYING TROPHIC SUPPORT FOR CALIFORNIA HALIBUT IN A RESTORED COASTAL WETLAND AS A METRIC FOR RESTORATION SUCCESS Fox, Espasandin, Whitcraft, Lowe, and Allen. California State University, Long Beach, Department of Biological Sciences, Long Beach, CA, 90840. Post-restoration monitoring and assessments typically focus on structural attributes of the restored habitats, but recent research has emphasized the importance of evaluations that also include ecosystem function. In this study, the recovery trajectory of a recently restored salt marsh in Southern California was assessed with respect to a reference marsh in the sam
