Low-Dielectric Polymers Derived From Biomass

Abstract

Biomass-derived high-performance polymers have recently received much attention because they are easily available and renewable. More recently, researchers have been interested in low-dielectric polymers derived from biomass feedstock. These polymers display good dielectric properties and high thermostability, as well as good mechanical properties, implying that they have potential application in microelectronic industry, especially in fifth-generation communication (5G). This review summarizes recent progress in low dielectric polymers based on the biomass, including the synthesis and properties of different types of biomass resins such as epoxy resins, benzoxazine resins, benzocyclobutene resins, perfluorocyclobutane resins, cyanate eaters, polyester resins, phthalonitrile resins, and a functional maleimide.
