Abstract :
[en] The valorisation of natural (renewable) vegetable oils and animal fats in the polymer industry is described as a example of "green chemistry". We underline that these renewable feedstocks find brilliant applications as additives, polymers or co-polymers. These materials offer convenient alternatives to classical petrochemical-based compounds.
