“…Finally, the hydrophobic alkyl chain in C 15 , when it is unsaturated, in addition to providing a plasticizing effect [41,42,50], also allows many chemical reactions: epoxidation [44,46,47], hydrogenation [51,52], carbonation [53], thiolene [54,55] or Diels Alder [56]. For all these reasons, we find the compounds of CNSL, and more particularly cardanol, easier to obtain in large quantities, used in the synthesis of additives (plasticizer [39,44,47,50,57], lubricant [58,59]), polymers [53] (epoxy [46,60,61], phenolic resin [40,41,62], polyurethane [55,63] etc.) or active molecules [64].…”
