Sustainable synthesis of renewable surfactants

This Thesis reports on the synthesis of novel surface active polymers using cyclic esters (D,L-lactide), dicarboxylic acids, oleochemicals and temperature sensitive polyols (D-sorbitol) as renewable building blocks. Product degradability, sustainability and low-toxicity are driving the demand for bi...
