| dc.description.abstract | The reviewed work addressed the shift in focus from conventional polymers to bio-based and renewable
polymers. The environmental attributes of the renewable polymers make them preferred
choice of matrix. The properties of the matrices from renewable origin could compete in high end
applications. The composition of the fatty acids in plant seed oil was discussed and the determination
of the level of unsaturation used the iodine value. This review also extensively discussed the
values of various fatty acid components present in the oils. Areas of application of the thermosetting
polymers obtained from plant seed oils were also discussed. | en_US |
