Learning Objets
Summary
This review chapter "Soy-Based Chemicals and Materials: Growing the value chain" documents the use of soy as a biomaterial and green alternative to traditional feedstocks. Within this article, current industrial uses of soybeans are discussed including solvents, oleochemicals and surfactants, paints, coatings, inks, plastics, plasticizers and others are highlighted. Then, four of the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards that highlighted soy-based products are described. This article is rich with examples of soy-based chemistry that could be fodder for educational case studies.
