Polyesteramides are a class of synthetic polymers connected by ester and amide bonds.
[1] Common polyesteramides can be separated in to two different types.
[2] According to Rainer Höfer, nylon-type polyesteramides can be synthesized through the polymerisation of caprolactam or caprolactone, or through polycondensation of synthetic alcohols like 1,4-butanediol.
Nylon-type polyesteramides have been investigated for their use in drug delivery systems and smart materials.
These polyesteramides are often manufactured from regional vegetable oils including neem oil.
