Description
Abstract: Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid containing nine C atoms, industrially obtained from oleic
acid. Besides its important properties and pharmacological applications, as an individual compound,
azelaic acid has proved to be a valuable bio-based monomer for the synthesis of biodegradable and
sustainable polymers, plasticizers and lubricants. This review discusses the studies and the state
of the art in the field of the production of azelaic acid from oleic acid, the chemical and enzymatic
synthesis of bio-based oligo and polyester and their properties, including biodegradability and
biocompostability.
