| Summary: | The increasing demands for oils both for human consumption and for other industrial
applications has culminated into an increasing need to search for oils from nonconventional
sources to augment the available ones and also to meet specific
applications. Environmental concerns about synthetic non-biodegradable polymers have
also encouraged efforts towards their substitution with fully or partially biodegradable
polymers of semi-synthetic or bio-origin. The physic-chemical properties of vegetable
oils and their structures were discussed in terms of their potentially future use as base oils
biolubricants and additives. |
