Bibliometric Review of State-of-the-art Research on Microbial Oils’ Use for Biobased Epoxy

Abstract Epoxy resins are widely used polymers from which a variety of products derived and applied in many industries. Most epoxy still obtained mainly fossil feedstocks, such as epichlorohydrin bisphenol A, also highly toxic. Additionally, resin forming non-biodegradable waste at their end life. Recently the number studies aiming to find solutions other raw materials for replacement has increased, showing that bio-based promising alternative. An interesting alternative material is epoxides microorganisms, epoxidized microbial oil. This review article explores compares latest use oils production epoxides, outlines prospects future points out shortcomings these solutions.
