New dicarboxylic acids were synthesized from ricinoleic acid in 3–8 steps in good overall yields, and they were found to be effective as an electrolyte in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These types of dicarboxylic acids show good heat-resistance and higher withstand voltage than conventional electrolytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
