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.
