Bio-based polyamide refers to polyamides whose raw materials are derived from biomass materials, such as starch, cellulose, lignin, and animal and vegetable oils. Bio-based polyamides are mainly synthesized from bio-based amino acids, bio-based lactams, bio-based dibasic acids, and bio-based diamines. Compared with traditional petroleum-based polyamides, bio-based polyamides have a lower environmental footprint, help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and generally have good biodegradability. Bio-based PA materials have excellent mechanical and chemical resistance. With the improvement of environmental awareness and the advancement of technology, the market demand for bio-based polyamides may continue to grow in the future. The attention paid by all walks of life to its research and development and application is also increasing.
Based on the source of raw materials, polyamides are generally divided into two categories:
Bio-based polyamide is a polymer made from renewable resources (such as vegetable oil or other biomass) through chemical synthesis or polymerization. Bio-based polyamide has a wide range of potential applications, including but not limited to:
It can be used to produce environmentally friendly clothing and household items.
It can be used for food and non-food packaging.
It can be used in the automotive, electronics and consumer goods fields, with excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance.
It is suitable for use in some products in the medical field due to its biocompatibility.
In the early development of bio-based polyamide, castor oil was commonly used as raw material. In recent years, it has turned to glucose as the basis, using microbial technology to generate precursors. Bio-based PA is a new type of material with the advantages of environmental protection and renewable, and has received more and more attention. At present, there are many bio-based polyamide products on the market, such as PA1010, PA11, PA610, PA410, etc. At present, researchers expect that the synthesis of bio-based polyamide materials using food waste, waste paper, inedible parts of crops, forest residues, oil plants, sugar crops, marine plants and genetically modified plants as raw materials has great development potential.
