Abstract:The detrimental issues surrounding the accumulation of traditional plastic waste are well known. A myriad of research has been conducted in the past few decades related to the synthesis of polymers using plant oils as starting monomers to obtain polymers from renewable sources. These polymers can be biodegradable and, therefore, can decrease further plastic waste accumulation. Although many studies have been conducted on the polymerization of soybean oil (SBO), comparatively few studies have been conducted on … Show more
