Abstract

Three lipid-based Polyester Amides (PEAs) with varying ratios of ester and amide linkages were synthesized. Oleic acid was used as the starting material to produce the intermediates, characterized by MS and NMR, used for polymerization. PEAs were characterized by FTIR and GPC. The PEAs were constrained to have similar number average molecular weights, in the 2× 104 range, thereby enabling comparison of their physical properties from a ...
