Research Progress of the Application of Dimer Fatty Acid to the Synthesis of Macromolecule Materials
There are some limitations on the macromolecule materials made from petrochemicals in the parts of biodegradability, biocompatibility, water resistance, the reproducibility of the resource, and so oa Dimer fatty acid is a product of oil chemistry. The macromolecule materials made from dimer fatty acid show excellent properties on biodegradability and biocompatibility, and the source of the raw material is broad. These materials have filled the gaps of the petrochemicals, and have a promising future. The general situation and the future developments of the synthesis technique, property and application of polyamide, polyester, epoxy resins that made from dimer fatty acid have been summarized in this paper.
