“…Bio-based polymers, due to their properties, which are comparable to/or better than widely used petroleumbased polymers, already have numerous applications, such as e.g., stabilizers and plastizers of thermoplasts, mostly PVC and its copolymers (Li et al, 2014;Yin et al, 2014), lubricants (Campanella et al, 2010;Lawal et al, 2013) or polymer precursors. Moreover, they are biodegradable, non-toxic, environmentally friendly and offer significant cost reduction.…”
