Directly derived from renewable biomass, i.e. plant oils and animal fats, fatty acids present themselves as polar molecules with a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and only two different reactive centres, a carboxyl group and olefinic double bonds. This structure makes them suitable as platforms for chemical effect species as diverse as green solvents, detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, rheological additives, lubricants, and plasticisers, and as building blocks for biopolymers.
