Technical Abstract:
Polymers from natural resources have attracted important attention in the last few years because of increasing social emphasis on issues concerning the environment, waste disposal, and the depletion of non-renewable resources that has stimulated research on renewable materials. Soy-based polymers from our lab have been extensively studied. Here we report their applications in a variety of areas, such as printing inks, composites, and hydrogels in controlled drug release systems.
