Polyesteramides are a class of synthetic polymers connected by ester and amide bonds.
Polyesteramides are a class of synthetic polymers connected by ester and amide bonds. ==Types== Common polyesteramides can be separated in to two different types. ===Nylon-type=== According to Rainer Höfer, nylon-type polyesteramides can be synthesized through the polymerisation of caprolactam or caprolactone, or through polycondensation of synthetic alcohols like 1,4-butanediol. Nylon-type polyesteramides have been investigated for their use in drug delivery systems and smart materials. ===Oil-based=== Höfer described oil-based polyesteramides as "products of a fatty acid alkanolamide with a dicarboxylic acid (anhydride) such as terephthalic acid or pthalic acid anhydride". These polyesteramides are often manufactured from regional vegetable oils including neem oil. ==See also== Polyester Polyamide Self healing material ==References==
