Figure 2. (Top) basic structure of biobased poly(ester amide) developed in this study, consisting of long-chain fatty acids (derived from vegetable oils), amino acids, and succinic acid (derived from sugar).  (Bottom) Prepared biobased poly(ester amide) films.  These polymers are chemically recyclable through so called transesterification (depolymerization with alcohols).
